SECURITY CONCERNS DRIVE TRANSITION TO IN-HOUSE WEBMAIL SOFTWARE FROM FREE EMAIL SERVICES
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec 6, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- EMUmail,
Inc., the leading webmail software publisher, reported the results of a
recent market survey regarding free email services versus installed
webmail software. The survey found a trend towards using in-house
resources rather than relying on public Internet resources.
EMUmail President Matthew Mankins reported, "The overwhelming majority
of our new customers cite recurrent security problems while utilizing
free email services such as the Microsoft Hotmail service. Professional
business travelers rely heavily on free e-mail services to provide
access to email from any destination. We have noticed our new customers
are highly concerned about the security of business email passing
through vulnerable free email services."
Through the use of installed webmail software like EMUmail, users are
provided with all the features of a free email service, but with
greater security and increased control.
EMUmail, based in Cambridge, MA, provides a revolutionary webmail
product line including enterprise-level and lite versions, available
for both NT and UNIX installations. The system is packed with features
for both users and system administrators, including the ability to
fully customize the look and feel of each interface.
EMUmail's products are in use by corporations globally, including
Citicorp, United Parcel Service, and Sun MicroSystems. In addition, the
service has been highly valuable to Internet Service Providers and
academic institutions such as Texas A&M and the University of
California.
