Let's say you're bilking an Indian tribe out of millions, or carrying on an extramarital affair with your executive assistant. Time was that bragging about it in emails could come back to haunt you.
No more. Thanks to
MailJedi, a free service that allows you to email through secure webpages -- thus leaving no tracks -- those incrimidating cyber-messages won't be your undoing in divorce court or before a grand jury. (It'll be something else stupid you did.)
Do I mischaracterize? You be the judge (pun not intended). Check out some of the marketing language on the MailJedi web site:
Powerful people are in jail because of email. Well, they're really in jail because of what they did but their emails were used to convict them.
True and true!
Corporations, governments and your spouse use software to scan your emails.
Well, we knew about the government (hi, NSA!), but I must say the spouse thing is rather troublesome.
E-mails sitting in recipients' mailboxes can be ticking time bombs. Over time, some relationships evolve from friendly to confrontational. Or you can be indirectly targeted if your recipient's mailbox comes under scrutiny in an investigation or legal proceeding.
Of course, you don't have to be up to no good to want email privacy. Perhaps you just want to conduct sensitive business dealings without worrying about your email falling into a competitor's hands, or maybe you need to discuss touchy personnel issues.
Plus MailJedi allows you to edit or delete your message after it has been sent -- and that's something we've all wanted to do from time to time.
Remember, MailJedi: Not just for miscreants.
