What are the benefits of bundled encryption?
I like how easy the anti-spam filtering is to use.
Voice-access email? Awesome! Now if I could only voice-activate my TV!
Has anyone tested the voice-activated email? How accurate is it? If it’s anything like my voice-activated clock, it’s not something I’d want to try!
The distribution group management sounds really convenient. It’s something I’ve really needed as I’m tired of figuring out who should get what email.
I like that you can create your own allow lists. In the past I’ve missed emails I wanted b/c they were blocked as spam.
