A client has a short domain name site for hosting email accounts and a long domain name (containing keywords) for the main website.

The shortname site can have:
(a) an index page with a clickable link to the longname website, or
(b) an index page which redirects to the longname website.

In either case the shortname index page can be filled with text containing key words for the longname website.

Does anyone know if (a) and (b) options give the same search engine optimization value for the longname website?

I think you will be playing with fire if you stuff the short url page with kw.
I would have some descriptive text and use a keyword link from short url to company long url. As for redirecting, I wouldn't.

Hello,

Please use a 301 redirect

Why do you need to do anything. Why can the domain simply serve the email purposes only?
