Tom,
3. To send emails with ZixMail, senders must be connected to the internet. No internet, no email.

Why is this an issue? How can you send an e-mail if you're not connected to the internet?

Issues I see:
4. Cross platform functionality. The first release of ZixMail only supports 32 bit Windows. So if you exchange e-mails with someone who uses a Mac, UNIX, Win 3.1, or a PDA, you'll be out of luck.

5. Ease of use. Who wants to enter a password every time you send or receive an e-mail? How many AOL users will be able to figure out that an incoming e-mail is contained in the attachment, and that they will have to open the attachment in the ZixMail program before the e-mail can be read. Users who use ZixMail will have their e-mail in 2 different places - the ZixMail application as well as their normal application. This would make a lot more sense if it was bundled as part of the e-mail application, and not a seperate application.

6. Security considerations. Business users may feel uncomfortable outsourcing such a sensitive application to a relatively unknown company that has shown it can be rash in suing another company. CUST will have a record of every e-mail sent and to whom. This information alone may be sensitive, and their current scheme does not allow it to be kept confidential.

Regards,
Craig
