Swiss Post is now offering the final version of IncaMail, the solution for sending e-mails securely and verifiably. The new IncaMail is easier to use and incorporates interfaces to Abacus and Crealogix business software solutions, enabling customers of those companies to send business items such as reminders and salary statements securely and in encrypted form. The Swiss Bar Association (SAV) recommends the solution as a way of ensuring confidentiality in communications with clients. Customers pay per item or purchase a subscription to use the service on a regular basis. Swiss Post is offering its customers the final version of IncaMail, its solution for sending e-mails securely and verifiably, earlier than planned. This is in response to the positive feedback received from the 1,000 or so trial customers. The new version includes additional functions such as an interface for connecting to Abacus or Crealogix business software solutions. These applications have been integrated to meet the requirements of the many customers wishing to use IncaMail to handle their business mail securely, in encrypted form and with the option of verification. Based on the customer feedback, the solution has also been further developed and made easier to use. Secure e-mails at a reasonable price Unlike the trial version, the final version entails a charge. Under the prepaid option, users pay CHF 0.75 to send a confidential, encrypted e-mail and CHF 2 for Swiss Post registered mail, which also includes official confirmation of dispatch and receipt. For frequent users, Swiss Post is offering annual subscriptions from CHF 249. Recipients do not pay anything to receive messages and can reply free of charge. Early birds will benefit from special rates: there will be an introductory discount of 15 percent until 15 November and 10 percent from then until Christmas. A variety of possible uses Unencrypted e-mails can be viewed by anyone on the Internet. The new service plugs this security gap in a simple, yet secure manner. IncaMail has a variety of possible uses, such as sending electronic reminders to debtors, forwarding salary statements to employees and efficiently transmitting PIN codes to bank customers. IncaMail ensures that confidentiality is maintained in communicating with customers and patients and is therefore recommended by the Swiss Bar Association for electronic communications with clients. Individuals can use the service to submit applications, for example, or simply whenever security and confidentiality are crucial. Easy to use IncaMail is an easily accessible, web-based solution that uses the user’s own e-mail address to send secure messages. Without installing any other software, users can exchange e-mails securely, easily and with a verification option similar to registered mail. The service can be seamlessly integrated into all e-mail systems, including Outlook/Exchange, Notes, GroupWise, Thunderbird and Apple. At the sender’s request, Swiss Post will also provide a digitally signed Swiss Post receipt confirming when an e-mail was sent and “picked up”. Users requiring even more convenience and security will be able to seamlessly integrate the SwissPostCertificate (Swiss Post’s digital identity and electronic signature). 31.10.08 |
