Maybe it should say &quot;paid advertisement?&quot; If not, you copied the text directly from the website ad video, so it seems little actual thought went into your article.But I have to agree with others, I already get my bills and statements sent electronically and securely, through my bank or providers, with better security than this will ever offer. And I do not like the idea of my mail be stored in some system somewhere where it can be all hacked at one time. At least with separate companies, if one gets hacked, the rest of my info is safe.And I have all these &quot;features&quot;, I am well into e-billing which works just fine thank you, and add a program like &quot;1Password&quot; to the mix, which generates random, large, secure password for all the systems I access, and manages them on my computer for easy access behind a secure password, and on iPad and mobile phone too, and I see zero reason for this.And what worries me most: What a great place for SPAM. Physical junk mail costs a lot of money. So I thought, how will Zumbox make money of it is free. Then it dawned on me:  Now, with Zumbox, junk mail providers, credit card solicitations, catalogs, pleas for donations, store advertisements, and a dozen other junk mail companies can now send to me with much less cost, Zumbox charges a small fee per message, and makes money sending us SPAM and junk mail. Marvelous!Yea, this idea makes no sense at all to me, I will pass, even for &quot;free.&quot;</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry Paul, but this article seems nothing more than a &#8220;shill&#8221; for the company.

The ECO aspect is cool for some people, but many others will not care. As many others have mentioned, getting a critical mass of users is crucial; however, I think they have developed a genius strategy by offering the service free to municipalities and others who are just sending billing/account info. Every org or company who sends a bill would, of course, rather that activity cost them nothing than it costing them printing and postage. And nobody escapes municipal utilities, so getting them to sign up and encourage usage will get you to a critical mass...if they can convince them of the points I made above.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think it&#39;s a great idea, but there is much work to be done to: 1) prove to potential users that it is secure and 2) going to make their lives easier.

So, I&#039;ll get my water bill from Zumbox instead of into my current email account (my city has already gone paperless), and because they&#039;ll be set up to send ALL my notices thru Zumbox, when I sell my house and forget to turn off the Zumbox email, the city will shut off the water because the new owner won&#039;t be paying the bill they don&#039;t see. Same goes for the property tax bill (still get that one by mail). Heck, I had one tax bill make it through to the tax sale when I bought my house, and that was with a piece of paper coming to my door.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;No thanks. I&#039;ve signed up for electronic delivery of all my bank statements and utility bills already. I&#039;m not going to unwind my multiple logins. I have to have all the individual account logins anyway for various proprietary account management needs, so this just adds one more place to log into and doesn&#039;t really appear to remove anything.

Many companies are desperate for savings and will start giving credits to consumers for making the switch to digital. The problem with going digital has been that consumers have to manage countless online accounts, which becomes tiring. With Zumbox I only have to manage one account. What a relief! Companies going paperless don&#039;t need to know my e-mail address, just my physical address. All this provides the means for a rather painless switch to digital mail. I have posted more details in a &lt;a href=&quot;http://postalsanity.com/?p=354&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;blog entry&lt;/a&gt;.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zumbox is a very promising model and it will take off, once a critical subscriber mass has been reached.
