Save Paper, Post and Money with Greenmail

December 06, 2005 - Press Dispensary - A free, environmentally friendly service called Greenmail (http://www.greenmail4me.com) from secure email provider, Link Information Systems (http://www.linkinformationsystems.com), launches today.

Greenmail is a cut above ordinary email because it makes messages safe using bespoke encryption technologies, prevents spam (junk mail), stops people sending mail to the wrong recipient, tells the sender when their message has been read, and gives a genuine recall facility if the sender gets it wrong - which can save red faces all round!

Simple to use, Greenmail doesn't require the user's email addresses to be changed: it can be configured to pick up mail from existing POP or web mail accounts. As well as making email private and safe, Greenmail aims to reduce paper usage, postage costs and the amount of transport used to deliver 'snail mail' (the traditional post), all of which adds to carbon dioxide polluting the air - the main cause of global warming.

Paul Mustoe, CEO of Link Information Systems, explains: 'Normal email systems are green but they aren't sufficiently safe for carrying important postal items which, for example, may contain sensitive personal and financial information. We've probably all heard of the recent, well-publicised scams on banks and credit card processors - which is why banks have been reluctant to go greener and save money by communicating with customers electronically.'

He adds: 'Greenmail changes this situation by making email trustworthy and secure. It encourages users to send important items by email rather than post, which they might have been reluctant to do previously. This saves money on postage and helps protect the environment too. We believe Greenmail is the first service of its kind in the world.'

For a number of years, Link Information Systems - a Bedford-based company - has specialised in making company email safe. This led to research about how to achieve savings in paper and transport cost which, in turn, benefits the environment. Link Information Systems encourages consumers to reduce their demand for trees in the rainforest. It campaigns to conserve what is left of the forest by persuading companies and consumers to buy trees to protect them from being felled.
