One of my buddies, Judy works for this NGO http://phaphama.org and asked me to revue some of the email solutions that are applicable for her organisation.

I love how NGOs first ask you to do work, report to them, and then make a decision, unlike a small business who will do the research work themselves, make a decision and then ask you to do the work, haha. I had a laugh.

Anyway, on to what I found. Rather than me doing alot of work that is done already, I googled this topic and came up with these sites who’ve reviewed some of the big names already;
