Webmail.us Launches Webmail Lite
Email Hosting Company Allows Users to Check Third Party Email Accounts and RSS Feeds—Online, For Free
BLACKSBURG, Va. (PRWEB) August 9, 2005 -- Webmail.us, the leading provider of
email hosting services to small and geographically dispersed businesses, today
unveiled its beta version of Webmail Lite, a free web-based aggregator that
allows users to setup and manage third party email accounts and RSS feeds
through an extension of the company’s webmail interface. Webmail Lite is
designed for email users that need anytime, anywhere access to their email, RSS
feeds and address book data, but lack a professional webmail interface. Unlike
most free online services, Webmail Lite is supported by Webmail.us and does not
contain third party advertisements.
“The perfect user for this
application is the small business employee who runs their own POP or IMAP server
but lacks a good Webmail interface,” said Kevin Minnick, vice president of
product development for Webmail.us. “The user may use Outlook or Thunderbird in
the office, but may lack access to their email when on the road, in a coffee
shop, or even at home. Webmail Lite provides users with anywhere access to their
email and RSS feeds. We also envision ISPs offering this to their users as most
ISPs don’t put much R&D into webmail themselves.”
The company is
close to announcing the launch of its RSS reader for its email hosting
customers. “Combining RSS and email lowers the technology learning curve,” said
Pat Matthews, chief executive officer at Webmail.us. “People know how to use
email—now they will know how to use RSS, sometimes without even realizing
it.”
Webmail Lite offers several powerful features, is completely free
and contains no third party advertisements. Features include:
* IMAP and
POP Support of third party email accounts
* Web-based RSS Reader
*
One-click access to all of your email accounts including Gmail, Yahoo, etc.
*
Address Book entries span all your accounts.
* Account Options span all your
accounts.
* SSL Support for extra security
Webmail.us, along with its
growing list of private-label reseller partners, provides more than 7,000 small
and geographically dispersed businesses with enterprise-class email hosting
protected from spam, computer viruses and other security threats facing
corporate email systems. The company manages and maintains this critical
communications infrastructure, freeing up personnel resources and eliminating
the need for organizations to purchase email-related hardware, software and
security services—all for a fraction of the cost of purchasing and managing the
solution in-house. The email hosting platform is housed in carrier-grade data
centers, to ensure maximum uptime. Webmail.us also goes to great lengths to
ensure its customers’ privacy—promising not to sell customer data or advertise
to them –key reasons for being awarded the TRUSTe privacy seal.
