Mainstay Improves JustMail™
Spring Internet World, Los Angeles, CA, April 14, 1999--Mainstay today began shipping JustMail™ version 1.5, a private and secure client to access an email account anytime, anywhere, using only a web browser. The updated JustMail 1.5 integrates directly with Mainstay's newly released JustAddress Book™, personal web-based address book applet (sold separately). A user simply types in a few characters of the name of the mail recipient into the "To", "CC", or BCC" fields, and JustMail's clairvoyance feature completes the remainder of the address, if found in the JustAddress Book database.
JustMail is a Java applet which is added to a user's web page. A user simply brings up the JustMail page, enters their name and password and clicks "Connect". The JustMail email client opens in a separate window with a display similar to that of popular email client applications. Users can read their mail and send and receive messages while continuing to browse the web. With JustAddress Book installed, JustMail 1.5 automatically connects to the address database and completes email addresses after a few matching keystrokes are entered into any of the address fields of a new message. JustMail works on any website that has an email server running at the same IP address as the HTTP server, and requires no server-side applications, scripts, CGIs, or plug-ins.
"JustMail has proven itself invaluable for a person who travels and for anyone who uses more than one computer," says Tom Nalevanko, president of Mainstay. "Adding JustAddress Book rounds out JustMail nicely." JustMail is not an email service but rather accesses an existing email account. This approach results in increased privacy and security when compared to web-based email services. No questions are ever asked about the user's personal information, and email names and passwords are never stored or entrusted to a third party.
JustMail offers a snappy application-type email interface similar to popular email applications. There is no page refresh between messages or any of the other limitations of a clumsy HTML-based interface. JustMail displays email in a free-floating window, allowing continued web browsing while reading and sending email. Reading a series of messages is quickly done by simply selecting from an email message list or by using the up or down arrow keys. The JustMail applet is fast and responsive at only 34 KB in size and downloads quickly, even on relatively slow modems. JustMail works with Windows 95/98/NT, Macintosh and Unix.
A free, fully functional, promotional version of JustMail places a self-promotion line at the end of every sent email. This free, promotional version is available from www.mstay.com and most popular download sites. For situations where email is desired without promotional messages, a commercial version of JustMail is available for $39.95, single user, and $495 for small business or educational website licenses. A multi-site, commercial, or OEM license is also available for ISPs and larger corporations. JustMail can be purchased, with immediate electronic delivery, at: www.mstay.com. JustAddress Book is sold separately for $39.95, single user and $495 for corporate or educational website licenses. For more information, contact Lance Merker at (805) 484-9400, or by email at
