In today’s business environment, where electronic mail is the predominant method of communication, the e-mail recipient has complete rights over confidential e-mails once they leave the sender’s outbox.

With this empowerment, any e-mail recipient can send, copy, print or forward sensitive e-mail and attachments. The recipient can even inappropriately employ or modify the e-mail message and forward it elsewhere. Recent media coverage demonstrates damaging affects caused by e-mail messages and attachments landing in the wrong “inboxes” of individuals both on the inside and outside of an organization, including e-mail inboxes of competitors and the dreaded appearance of confidential e-mail on an online “rumor” site. What are business professionals doing to ensure their sensitive e-mail messages stay confidential?

Founded in January, 2003, Treasure Coast Software developed Mail-Lock™ to address these significant e-mail concerns expressed by professionals in the following sectors: legal, finance, human resource, marketing/advertising, medical and local government. Headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., Treasure Coast’s mission is to provide innovative, easy-to-use solutions to help executives protect company-sensitive information.

Mail-Lock Benefits

Designed for the more than 100 million Microsoft Outlook™ users worldwide, Mail-Lock’s EPIC™ functionality (E-mail Personal Information Containment) lets e-mail users establish rules for the recipients of e-mail including:

• when an e-mail can be viewed and for how long, and
• whether or not the e-mail can be printed, copied, or forwarded—in addition to controlling associated Microsoft Office attachments.

Mail-Lock requires little or no training; has minimal, if any, impact on the IT infrastructure; and is inexpensive?at the introductory price of $99 per desktop and a later retail of $149. The Mail-Lock reader is free. Volume discounts are available. The product can be purchased and downloaded online in minutes, http://www.treasurecoastsoftware.com/evaluate.asp or through an authorized Mail-Lock reseller.

How Mail-Lock Works

If the e-mail user can run Microsoft Outlook™ 2000, at least SR1 or higher, Mail-Lock™ will operate properly.

Mail-Lock uses pop-up menus and on-screen radio button wizards to accomplish its functionality. A user simply installs the Mail-Lock Creator on the workstation and then creates an e-mail. The user then selects the “Send with Mail-Lock” icon on the Microsoft Outlook™ menu, sets the desired e-mail policies and clicks Send.

To view the message, the e-mail recipient downloads the Mail-Lock Reader, a one-time process, and then opens the sent e-mail with the sender’s policy controls in tact.
