Webmail.us Raises the Bar for Webmail Clients with its Improved Interface

Client Resembles Popular Desktop Email Clients and Offers IMAP-folder Management, Message Preview Pane, HTML Editor, Enhanced Search Capabilities, Among Other New Features

BLACKSBURG, Va. — (NOVEMBER 2, 2004) — Webmail.us, the proven provider of enterprise-class email hosting for small businesses, today raised the bar for webmail clients with its improved Outlook-style user interface. The new webmail client possesses a look and feel resembling popular desktop email clients, an IMAP-based folder system, a message preview pane, an advanced HTML editor, enhanced search capabilities and a wealth of other new features and enhancements. Because the client is Web-based, new and existing customers receive immediate access to the new user interface, features and enhancements without having to purchase or download additional software.

Webmail.us provides small businesses with world-class, domain-based email hosting (user@yourdomain.com), 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 small businesses to purchase email-related hardware, software and security services. The Webmail.us hosted email platform was designed with the small business in mind. It provides customers with a powerful email service that contains all of the features found in commercial enterprise packages in addition to integrated security and anti-spam protection - all for a fraction of the cost of purchasing and managing the solution in-house.

"We are very pleased with the customer response we have received regarding the version 3 launch of our webmail interface," commented Patrick Mathews, chief executive officer of Excedent Technologies and Webmail.us. "Our new webmail interface combined with our existing email platform, outstanding customer support and 99.99% uptime guarantee, helps to make Webmail.us a clear alternative to complex email software packages that small businesses have traditionally needed to purchase, install and manage in-house. We now serve more than 3,500 businesses worldwide and we will continue to deliver the features and reliability that our customers demand."

The email hosting platform is housed in redundant, carrier-grade data centers that ensure customers' uptime and security. Additionally, the company 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. All Webmail.us email hosting packages come standard with domain-based email accounts, SSL-encrypted webmail, POP3, IMAP4, SMTP, spam filtering, virus scanning and a choice between 100MB and 1GB mailboxes.
