Original Press Release:



Sending Large Data Files and Folders with Foldermail Couldn't be Easier



Tighter integration with Outlook and new management features put Foldermail head and shoulders above email, ftp and web downloads as a data delivery technology

26 September 2006: Foldermail has announced a new version of its secure and traceable data delivery technology for sending and receiving large files and complete folders that is now even easier to use and manage. With version 3.0, Foldermail provides seamless integration with all versions of Outlook and adds support for Outlook's Word editor and distribution lists; while non-Outlook users can compose messages using Foldermail's auto address book. Other new features include auto accept for approved senders, support for email aliases and groups, more detailed sending and delivery status information and full support for authenticating proxies. With the download of Foldermail 3.0 all users get 250mb free delivery credit.

Foldermail allows companies to send and receive large files and folders without the hassle of FTP or the limits of email. It also offers major advantages over other data delivery technologies such as web transfer or simply mailing information on CDs and USB keys. And with the increasing volume of emails being sent with large attachments, it prevents inboxes getting blocked and corporate IP networks grinding to a halt. Foldermail minimises the impact of heavy data loads by avoiding peak traffic times and preventing unnecessary duplication when sending the same item to multiple recipients.

Applications include sending out rich media presentations, literature, reports and videos to sales offices, partners and agents. And as Foldermail retains complex directory structures, it is an ideal solution for software development, data backup and software, patch or update distribution.

Foldermail's extensive progress tracking allows users to check the delivery status of all sent and received transfers as well as providing a detailed log and archive. The latest version provides even more detailed context sensitive information. And if the connection is lost or a remote user has to shut down, transfer simply picks up from where it left off when connectivity is re-established.

Foldermail has been designed to be highly secure. When a foldermail is received, no data is transferred until the user has accepted the invitation that provides information about the files and folders being sent. Foldermail uses advanced authentication and end-to-end encryption technology so that no unsecured data is ever exposed and it does not compromise the corporate firewall as bulk data is transferred on Port 80 and control information is passed via Port 443. In addition, data is distributed and replicated in transit on secure servers so that no single server holds all the information required to reassemble the content. With this level of security, Foldermail provides a flexible and convenient alternative to VPNs for sharing sensitive data with customers and suppliers. A range of administrator controls allow end-user functionality to be restricted as necessary.

"Working with our current users we have enhanced Foldermail to make it even easier to use and manage across the enterprise," says Jane Aldridge, Marketing Director at Foldermail. "Those using Outlook get automatic integration whatever version they are running so Foldermail just operates in the background on their PCs and behaves just like normal email. Users or administrators can also now select and approve senders so that data from them is automatically accepted. We have also added the ability to set up groups and add members so that delivery credit can be shared and support for email aliases means foldermails can be received on multiple email accounts."

Foldermail offers a range of business packages including hybrid systems and complete standalone installations as well as a fully managed service. The managed service is like mailing letters, the sender organisation pays based on the amount of data transferred with no cost to the recipient. Complete corporate solutions start from under £1,000 and ROI can be expected within the first quarter. For low volume use the service can simply be subscribed to using a credit card at www.foldermail.com. Each account may have multiple users.

About Foldermail
Foldermail provides a highly specified, managed internet data delivery service. At its simplest level, Foldermail is an extra icon on the desktop, which the user clicks to attach large files and complete folders to emails, like using conventional email.

Foldermail Ltd was set up in Cambridge, UK, to exploit technology developed for managing the flow of large datasets across IP networks. With financial support received from the UK Department of Trade and Industry, over £2million has been spent to date on technology and product development. Foldermail's technology allows large datasets to be transported reliably and at low cost across IP networks, even in environments where connections may be unstable and fail regularly. It also provides innovative methods for managing the flow of data to eliminate peak loading bottlenecks on networks.
