"People don't like to spend $50 per year on an email, much less per month."

I completely agree from the consumer side of things. I'm hoping that for businesses who have many people touching the same email addresses it is a drop in the hat. I'm just afraid that these businesses are already tied to big name players offering less niche products.

"Let me ask you this: what kind of person would need to securely share access to your email? Probably someone in charge. Work from there."

This is a good point. The other types of people on my radar: those that frequently work with contractors/personal assistants and single customer service emails managed by multiple employees (which is probably managed by someone in charge like you said).

" It seems a little bit to me like you're trying to reinvent email"

That's actually what I was hoping to avoid. My goal was more to add an extra layer, that people would be willing to pay a premium for.

Great advice and food for thought!

As another price point, I believe Google apps for business is $50 / yr / person.
