Managing Email Should Be Easy - Not Complicated

I was perusing articles I hadn't read in a while and came across one from CMS Wire that reminded me of a key feature in eMail Manager - Ease of Use. It is a few days old (ancient, I know), but a very interesting read on the importance of simplicity and usability on the web. The article is titled "Easy to Use: Why the Web Demands Simplicity" and describes the very essence of eMail Manager and our continued development philosophies. From the beginning, our goal was to create an email management product that focused on usability and task completion without all the fluff and added costs.

Here are a couple of good quotes by the author Gerry McGovern that drove this point home ...

"A key reason we embrace the Web is because it increases transparency and reduces complexity." - Thank you !

"The best websites are simple, not because they think being simple is a nice thing to do, but because they know that simplicity is necessary for success." - Words to live by.
