Email Service Providers (ESPs)

Email Service Providers (ESPs) offer a centralized platform to send, receive, route and automate email messages. With email communication now utilized as an official method of communication across businesses today, ESPs have expanded their capabilities to offer more than just the means to send and receive emails.

Our list of email service providers on this page serve as top alternatives to more common and mainstream platforms such as Microsoft Outlook and Google Mail (Gmail).

Advanced functionalities of Email Service Providers (ESPs)

• Filtering out suspicious emails, for added security: While many leading ESPs already offer inbuilt phishing detection capabilities, many ESPs can integrate with dedicated email security tools to further enhance protection.
• Scheduling and collaboration: This includes sending automatic out-of-office replies, which can be customized, both in terms of messaging as well as the timeframe you’d want the reply to be sent. Inbuilt calendar functions and event management (which detect multiple time zones and suggest appropriate meeting times) further ensure users need not depend on a separate calendar application to schedule and be reminded of meetings.
• Intelligent email response suggestions, tagging and summarization: From suggesting possible replies to an email, to summarizing transactional emails such as bills, utilities, flights and accommodation, top ESPs offer a system that is more in line with a collaborative and unified workspace.
• Integration with email marketing platforms: ESPs are one of the most common integrations for email marketing platforms, as they form the foundation for automatically sending promotional or transactional emails – often in bulk.
