LifeName Email Forwarding Service Discovers New Applications

FRAMINGHAM, MA, Tuesday. January 2, 2007 - LifeName Inc. (www.lifename.com) providing the same email for life, following its cult-like rise in popularity and interest among Internet users is hearing feedback on user’s uncovering some intriguing applications. LifeName is an email forwarding system that takes all messages for a given "LifeName" mailbox and quickly forwards them to the user's personal (non-LifeName) email account of choice. Wherever one lives, wherever one works, however one does his or her computing, and whether any of those things might change through the course of one's life, the LifeName virtual email hosting system gives the convenience and security of having the same email address throughout one's entire life.

A LifeName email address costs $5.00 or less per year. “If only the post office and telephone company had thought of this service! We would be given a unique address and phone number at birth, where all of our communications would be directed. Those communications would be automatically forwarded to the mailbox or phone where we happen to be at any given time, for our entire life,” states Richard Strauss, LifeName CEO.

One of the more popular applications is to present a LifeName email address as a baby gift for someone. Even with today’s technology, infants have a limited ability to correspond via email; however, their ability to be able to correspond for their entire life consistently becomes a treasured gift. A lot of families that share the same computer and/or email account like the convenience of each family member having their own unique LifeName address. All of the family's email gets loaded into the same mailbox, but it is clearly identified whom any given message is for.

Many college students are signing up for LifeName. Just about every University in the world cancels a student’s account soon after graduation, leaving no way for the student to receive correspondence, job offers (hopefully!), or most importantly to be able to stay in touch with classmates. Most Universities will not even forward or allow access to the email following the graduation. Many of these students are now signing up for LifeName, and using their LifeName address in college, and then after graduation they continue to receive all of their valuable email.
Some fairly large institutions that share common computers like the concept of LifeName as well. For example, LifeName recently heard from a senior living community that has a few computers that are shared among the tenants. They all have one account that they share for Internet access. Receiving email, before LifeName, was difficult, because there was no good way to "sort the mail". Now, each tenant has his or her own LifeName address, and the mail is clear for whom it is directed. One person in the community has said, "I recently received a message, but I was not on the computer that day. Seven of my friends in the community went out of their way to let me know that I had some mail. This works great!"

"We even have a lot of people who sign up for LifeName because they do not like the email address they were forced to use from their Internet Service Provider," According to Strauss. "It is hard to be known as john41326 and LifeName strictly resists having to go to this type of address structure. A LifeName subscriber tells us the story that he signed up with one of the larger services and was assigned the email address stevexxx rather than a number. Not thinking, he accepted it and now gets more "adult content" than anyone could handle. Now, using LifeName he has avoided this problem. As he says, whatever you do stay away from email addresses with three X's."

"The one I like the best," Says Strauss, "Is the person who signed up for a LifeName email address and he has no computer, no Internet Service Provider and no way to receive email. When asked why, the customer said that he was tired of people asking what his email address was, and looking stupid that he did not have one, they got one from LifeName so now they can be 'modern'. This reminds us of the person who drives around all summer with their car windows up so everyone thinks that they have air conditioning."
