What can I use the MXPlus Component for?

Types of applications you might want to build:

1. Help Desk / Support applications. Allow your customers to contact your office via MXPlus messages. All communication traffic with MXPlus is secure and encrypted so no matter what your business is, or who regulates it, you're in compliance with MXPlus.
2. Application Monitoring / Error Reporting applications. Need to send an urgent message when your database goes down? How about daily, weekly, monthly system status reports?
3. Interoffice SECURE email that can be accessed via the world wide web.

Here are some example business models to think about when considering how to use MXPlus in your application.

Scenario 1: I want to create an application that sends MXPlus mail from me to my customers.

Solution A (the customer bears the cost): The customer joins Mail Exchange Plus at any membership level for as little as $10.00 per year. In your application you would:

• 'Hard code' the MXPlus logon credentials for your company.
• Allow the customer to enter their MXPlus credentials (their account number and email address) in YOUR configuration/setup as the recipient.
• Your application would create MXPlus messages that were "from" you "to" them. All correspondence would automatically show up in "your" Sent Items mailbox and in "their" Inbox mailbox.

Solution B (you bear the cost): You join Mail Exchange Plus with an appropriate corporate membership that allows a sufficient number of users to accommodate both your company and all of your customers (note that for large companies with many users the yearly cost per user is less than $1.00). In your application you would:

• 'Hard code' the MXPlus logon credentials for your company / logon ID.
• Add the relevant customers to your company as "Read & Reply Only" users. Users designated as "Read & Reply Only" can only receive mail and reply to mail that has been sent to them (thus they cannot incur postage charges or use up your postage credits).
• Configure your application to send messages to those relevant customers at their email address (logon id) and with YOUR MXPlus account number.
• This solution insures that your customer has absolutely NO COST with regards to MXPlus. They can use either the WEB based mail client OR they can download the MS Windows MXPlus Desktop Client application. They log in with their regular email address.

Scenario 2: I want to create an application that sends MXPlus mail from my customers to me.

Solution A (the customer bears the cost): The customer joins Mail Exchange Plus at any membership level for as little as $10.00 per year. In your application you would:

• 'Hard code' your MXPlus logon credentials (your account number, email address to be the 'recipient'.
• Allow the customer to enter their MXPlus credentials (their account number and email address and password) in YOUR configuration/setup as the sender.
• Your application would create MXPlus messages that were "from" them "to" you. All correspondence would automatically show up in "your" Inbox mailbox and in "their" Sent Items mailbox.

Solution B (you bear the cost): You join Mail Exchange Plus with an appropriate corporate membership that allows a sufficient number of users to accommodate both your company and all of your customers (note that for large companies with many users the yearly cost per user is less than $1.00). In your application you would:

• 'Hard code' the MXPlus logon credentials for your company / logon ID.
• Add the relevant customers to your company as "Read & Reply Only" users. Users designated as "Read & Reply Only" can only receive mail and reply to mail that has been sent to them (thus they cannot incur postage charges or use up your postage credits).
• Configure your application to send messages to those relevant customers at their email address (logon id) and with YOUR MXPlus account number.
• This solution insures that your customer has absolutely NO COST with regards to MXPlus. They can use either the WEB based mail client OR they can download the MS Windows MXPlus Desktop Client application. They log in with their regular email address.

What abount Spam?

Spammers won't find MXPlus much help in their endeavours, we have built-in a number features that make the SDK a real uphill struggle for spammers (not the least being that when using the Mail Component you are required to know the recipient's Account Number, which can only be acquired by having the Account holder give it to you).

MXPlus is a private members network, we do not have to tolerate spam, so we don't.
