â–¡ Email Portal Via Google Apps for Business $5.00 / Month / User

Another option for handling email is Google Apps for Business. It allows users to use the Gmail interface, Google Calendars, and chat with branded email addresses from any location.

If an employee leaves, the information used in their account can be controlled (ex: summer interns.)

â–¡ Non-Branded Email Addresses using Gmail Free

You can also use Gmail to create email addresses that are not branded.  You can share calendars as well as chat the only issue here is that it will take more effort to share documents and calendars and there is more of an issue of what happens when an employee leaves and has access to business-related materials.
