Problems with Email
1. One email address isn’t enough
People know that one email isn’t enough and most users juggle between 3 or 4 different accounts trying to remember which ones are for which sign-ons.
2. Your email is owned by someone
The right side of your email address informs who owns your email: Gmail? Yahoo? Hotmail? It is time for users to own their email.
3. Email hasn’t changed in 30 years
List the messages. Click on one. Read the message. Close it. Repeat. It is time for an email makeover.
2. Unsubscribing is a hassle
It rarely works. Plus can you really trust a link in a message from an untrusted source? It is time from unsubscribe and done.
SECURED & PROTECTED
Pew study finds:
Americans don’t trust Social Media to protect data
Web 3.0 – Decentralization of the Web
Attracting Billions of $$.
boxes is focused on decentralization of email.
boxes securely stores user data, encrypted at rest, at AWS
For even more security, we can configure a user on their own AWS account and in 2024 boxes Server can be installed at a user’s home
SECURED & PROTECTED
Why Is This Important?
Ever seen an advertisement for something you mentioned in your email?
“It just took 20 minutes between when I sent an email to my contractor about the status of our blinds until the first ad for blinds showed up in my Facebook feed. Note, I have not given Facebook access to my devices. There is a leak somewhere. Hmmm.”
“They are not supposed to be reading the content for advertising. They were supposed to have stopped that 4 years ago.”
— Neil C.
If you are using “plain” Gmail that is something they have sold to advertisers “forever”
(FB advertisers, included, I presume other major platforms do it, as well)
— Duane S.
This happens to me quite often. Very creepy…
— Gwen P.

UNLIMITED ADDRESSES
Every account you have shouId have it’s own unique (and easy to remember) email address. Lowes wants to email you a receipt?

EMAIL MAKEOVER
When you think of email as a social network, messages are posts, reply is a comment, & forward is sharing. Plus, unlimited addresses requires a whole new way to view email.
OWN THE RIGHT
SIDE OF THE @
Owning your own domain means control of your own data. With domains as cheap as $5/year the time is ripe for owning your email.

Multiple addresses
Our CEO was able to update all of his online accounts to his boxes account. It’s simple to use the domain name of the service as the box name. It is a simple solution that keeps all his accounts separate.
