- A hybrid email setup is one where a large enterprise with 1000s of employees uses two different email service providers The email boxes used by the top management or power users, can be hosted by a service provider with a full set of features. While email for the remaining large section of the company employees and associates is powered by a service provider with far fewer but basic and essential features. Rediffmail for Work allows you to do this, while powering the rest of your email ids on the same domain (e.g., @yourcompany.com).
