E-Mail to go SaaS

This will only work if company's are contected to the web. This would not work very well at all for most of SA. If you connection drops, you cannot do anything with it until it is backup and running. A slow connection would also mean loss of productivity which equals money saved due not needing local IT soloutions is spent on wasted time. If the company providing the service goes bankrupt, what happens to your data?
Don't think I need to mention how stupid this is.
 
Not the Saas hop then? :D

I gather this has something to do with the concept of "cloud computing", but that is something that would not work as a whole in South Africa either.

Gmail has an offline ability, although it's only in 'lab' phase now, it actually works pretty well. While you are online it backs up / synchronizes your email on your computer. When you go offline you can continue to use Gmail as if you're online, except you obviously won't get new mail and can't send your mail (it sits in the outbox) until you go online again.
