Internet service provider, MegaWeb, yesterday introduced version 2 of it`s MegaMail service, which allows it`s subscribers to access their personal mailboxes via browser from any machine connected to the Internet.
By Browsing to www.megamail.co.za, MegaWeb mailbox subscribers only require their e-mail username and password to successfully receive all messages that are still on MegaWeb`s servers at any given time. Incoming messages first accessed via MegaMail may be downloaded to their e-mail clients at a later stage, while messages sent from the MegaMail service will remain in their personal MegaMail profile, but may be duplicated to their own e-mail address for download via e-mail client at a more convenient time.
MegaWeb Technical Manager, Kenneth Botha, said in a statement that the MegaMail service ties in with MegaWeb`s continuous assessment of market needs and the provision of user-friendly ways for making full use of the provider`s extensive range of service offerings. He added that while MegaWeb`s e-mail services has always been reliable due to a 99.8% average server uptime, no delays in delivery and anti-virus measures which stops 80 - 90% of viruses from reaching the network, the MegaMail service now ads ease of use and accessibility to it`s features, which has become a necessity in a business environment, which is no longer bound by physical parameters.
While version 1 of the MegaMail service was released 12 months ago, it was not widely marketed at the time. With enhanced features, based on the requirements and feedback from users, MegaWeb is confident that MegaMail version 2 will soon become a widely-used and trusted way for subscribers to access their e-mail, especially for those traveling or not operating from fixed premises at all times.
Michael Peters also stated that the MegaMail service would serve as a good prototype for MegaWeb`s FreeMail service, which will be launched in 2002.
