E-Mail Security: Don’t even Compare Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo

May 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo still are the most well-known free email service providers. However, there have been numerous safety concerns in the past. These are not a topic, if you send an email instead of a postcard from your holiday destination. But when sending confidential information or business-related documents, this may quickly become an issue.

Standard free email providers reach a limit, when sending confidential documents, private photos, or tax files: In such situations secure mail providers should be better used instead of Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo: Only they can ensure that messages are fully protected against leaks, hacks or any other unauthorized interference. Hence, next to Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo, everyone should also have an account with a secure mail provider, ideally also for free.

Opolis Secure Mail (http://www.opolis.eu) is the first secure email and messaging provider, offering its services for free: With Opolis each message remains encrypted sender-to-recipient, all the way, end-to-end and uninterrupted. Besides, messages can also be archived in an entirely secure system, not legible for unauthorized third parties.

The unique Opolis security concept also allows every sender to decide whether a message may be forwarded, copied, printed or not. Further, the sender can monitor and track all sent messages: Hence, if forwarding were allowed, then the sender will see when and to whom a message was forwarded and how it was further processed.

Also all attachments to Opolis messages are fully encrypted. And, a sender may – for example - decide that a photo attachment cannot be forwarded or printed: Then this photo can only be seen by the authorized recipient, and nobody else will have access to it. Photo fraught can be eliminated that way.

Opolis was launched to provide a fully integrated high-security email and messaging service solution. From a user perspective, Opolis functions like any other free webmail, such as Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo. However, Opolis combines all security features and the entire encryption process user-friendly in a single service. And, Opolis operates from any host PC all over the world.

The free service merely requires that both, the sender and the recipient are Opolis users. The registration process takes approximately 5 minutes.

"Opolis is a response to growing concerns in regards to Email security:  First, sending an ordinary Email is no more secure than sending a postcard. And then, the sender of an ordinary Email never really knows what the recipient has actually done with it or whether the message was even misused", he says. - Mr Forstner, a veteran telecoms entrepreneur, should know: When floating his telecoms company Cybertron in 1997, he saw confidential Emails ending up with individuals who should never have received them.
