"My Own Email is constantly trying to enhance our users' access to the information they need. First, we offered free email accounts that users could access easily over the Web, with any browser from any Internet connection, and personalize with their own domain names. Then we introduced My Starting Page, which offers users the opportunity to personalize their own portal page. Now, with Shoutmail's easy to use Web-phone interface, we are extending the reach of the Internet to incorporate the telephone in the Internet-email loop and provide our email users with convenient access to their messages," said Scott Polk, Manager, Quantum Computer Services.
