Thread: E-Mail Integration

You can create projects and tasks either on the Web or by sending e-mail to your 5pm address. You can also use e-mail to add up to 20MB of document files andypdate the percentage completion of a task. Parameters in e-mail subject lines let you
specify more details, such as start dates and deadlines. E-mail integration makes it easy to update projects from a mobile device on which the Web site might not display well.

5pm supports four types of users: Administrators have full access rights; users can edit projects and tasks for their teams; external users can view projects and tasks for their teams; and clients can view and edit their own projects.



5pm does more than the popular Basecamp. yet is easy enough for project management neophytes. It doesn't, however, offer the current capabilities of the higher-end Wrike. which recently added wiki-like knowledge collaboration for my earlier review of these services.

Monthly fees for 5pm range from S18 (five users, ten projects, and up to 250MB of storage) to S175 (no limits on users or projects and up to 5GB of storage). With
1 million users and a free basic offering, Basecamp may be the market leader for entry-level Web-based project management.
