“Every aspect of email that our Edison team has worked on for the past decade has led us to the creation of OnMail. We’ve worked tirelessly toward our mission of bringing happiness back to using email, and this is an email service that reflects that effort,” said Mikael Berner, CEO at Edison Software. “Email has scaled beyond its original design, and OnMail is made to be what email should look and feel like in today’s world.”
Email Has Scaled Beyond Its Original Design
In 2020, spam accounts for 54% of email traffic, 85% of the U.S. email market is captured by only three email services (Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo!), leaving little choice for consumers, and the number of email users will reach 4 billion worldwide — with most unable to get an email address they actually want. Furthermore, with 69% of consumers saying what they want most from brands is control over email frequency and 74% saying they are overwhelmed by email overload, the email services offered today have become obsolete.
OnMail has been engineered to solve the core areas of email that are broken. User control has been taken away from consumers, and anyone can jam hundreds of messages into your inbox and do it freely. Ad targeting has grown into an invasive norm in email as marketers frequently deploy trackers to detect when, and possibly even where you are if you open their email. Individualism, a concept that has suffered as email service domain addresses have proven to be a limited and finite resource, with most identifiers that actually represent your identity unavailable. And simplicity, one of the most overlooked yet fundamental aspects of a positive email experience today, has given way to overly complicated actions in the inbox.
OnMail is safeguarded by multiple layers of security, including user specific encryption keys built with powerful algorithms. OnMail data is encrypted at rest and in-transit. OnMail users can Opt-In to share de-identified ecommerce data with Edison for its aggregated research-backed business model.
Availability
OnMail can be used with any internet browser, and is compatible for use with the Edison Mail app for iOS, Android and Mac (with OnMail key feature support coming by end of 2020). OnMail mobile apps will be coming in early 2021.
