"Hushmail is the best thing to have happened to email since Hotmail. It holds the potential of providing a full featured email client, accessible from anywhere and not requiring user configuration. I would like to thank everyone at Team Hush for making this dream of real privacy a reality. Keep it up!

"Team Hush,

Just wanted to say I think you guys are doing a fantastic job.

I'm a government worker involved in the DoD PKI effort. Sometimes I want to grab my colleagues, stuff their bureaucratic noses into your website, and yell "this is the way to construct a PKI."

I'm sure you guys will have perfected the entire process long before we get our act together.

Keep up the good work...

"Hello from Australia,

What a great concept! You guys are to be congratulated for all your time and effort and for giving us 'ordinary' people a chance to communicate without the fear of 'other' persons looking in. I have e-mailed my friends and associates with your address, I am certain they will join up.

Regards,

John"

On Security..

"Glad to find a sensible security site for once!

I recently conducted a security test on Hushmail using ... a network packet sniffer. Apart from basic http headers, all data was illegible using the packet sniffer.

Hotmail and other unencrypted Web email services, tried with the same test, allowed all sensitive information transferred across the network to be viewed.

This alone is an excellent reason for using Hushmail.

"I just wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you for your service. I am an individual user who uses my Hushmail account from both work and home. Whether it be private emails I wish to send to friends (who are also Hushmail users) or people with which I do business, I feel totally secure using your email. I have email accounts all over the place: Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, etc.. but find myself using Hushmail whenever I need privacy. ...which is frequently.

I didn't think it necessary until about a year ago when I found out that my company was reading and screening our emails for "Security" reasons. A couple of my friends who said that they used Yahoo! email in order to avoid this invasion of privacy were stunned when I told them that web-based email was even more easily read (through their company's network cache). They are now users of Hushmail as well.

I thank you again for providing this service......and especially for doing it for free!

On Privacy..

"Last year I was being held in a foreign Country (Tonga). Their government, through the efforts of a local businessman and his computer wise son, were tapping into my hotmail. They were reading all of my Hotmail, communications between my USA attorney and myself.

They always seemed to be ahead of our game. We could not understand how they knew so much about what we were doing. Since my actual freedom was in question a friend told me about your mail system. We all downloaded and started using it. The intrusions stopped the first time running.

I was able to use the legal system to get my passport back and the ability to return to the USA. My business was lost and so was my money, but I am fine and not being detained in that corrupt country any longer and have started to rebuild.

Thank you for this service and I hope that it continues to grow.

"Hushmail has been tremendously useful to me and to others I know in the Middle East. Last year I was a Christian missionary in the Middle East, but because of the religious oppression in Muslim countries, I couldn't communicate freely with family and friends here in the U.S. Although not all my friends and family were on Hushmail, I still had the security of 128 bit SSL encryption for their messages from the Hushmail servers to my personal computer. For others, they got Hushmail accounts too so that we could communicate freely. Thanks!

On Support..

Support, storage, and more!

"Team Hush, I wanted to say thank you and express my delight at getting a complete and accurate answer to a technical question on the first business day after I sent it. I like to encourage that kind of service on the rare occasions when I encounter it. I've learned that it's normal at Hushville, but that's no reason to take it for granted.

Regards,

FW"

"I must admit that I am more than impressed with the promptness of your reply to my earlier email today...!!! All I've ever received from my former email provider were form letters, auto-responders with no soul, and canned answers which never meant anything, your taking the time to personally answer my questions is greatly appreciated...

I will be passing the word to each of my correspondents to sign up with Hushmail so that we might enjoy simple pleasures like "privacy of communications", something which has become an endangered species before Hushmail came along.

Best Wishes for a Prosperous Future!

Sincerely,

John"

"Well besides having a good product and promising future you have shown you have the heart to be a great customer service company. I will be watching when you go public and you will probably see me and the company I work with continue long term to use your service.
