Our office will be closed the afternoon of Thursday, December 24th, 2009 (from 12:00 PM Pacific Time) and all day Friday, December 25th, 2009. We’ll also be closed on Friday, January 1st, 2010.

All support requests received during these times will be answered promptly when office hours resume.

We’re pleased to announce that today we’re upgrading the storage allowance for Hushmail Premium members to 1 GB, and for Hushmail Premium + Desktop Access members to 10 GB. If you’re a Hushmail Premium subscriber you can expect to see the new storage by the end of the week (it will take a few days to roll it out to everyone).

If you have a free Hushmail account, you can upgrade to Hushmail Premium or Hushmail Premium + Desktop Access to get the new storage allowance. Not using Hushmail? Try Hushmail, free.

Thanks & have a great holiday season,

Hushmail

Hushmail is featured on the Huffington Post today in Keith Thomson’s article Christmas Eavesdropping: Affordable Spy Gizmos for Your Friends and Enemies.

To 21st century crooks trying to capture your financial information, emails are often less secure than 20th century postcards. Since 1999, spies have been using Hushmail, which encrypts emails.

See all of Keith’s Christmas spy gizmos or skip ahead to the Hushmail mention.

We’re pleased to announce that, as of today, we will no longer put ads at the bottom of emails sent from free Hushmail accounts. If you do not already have a Hushmail account, you can sign up here.

Anything else you would like to see changed in Hushmail? Please, feel free to send us your suggestions.

On July 7, 2009, we’ll be adding two new features to Hushmail Business webmail:

• HTML email display
• Option to sign in without using the Java applet (learn more)

If would like your Hushmail Business domain to be excluded from this upgrade, please let us know by July 6, 2009.
