CeBIT: Mentana-Claimsoft is first accredited De-Mail provider
Birkenwerder, 6 March 2012 – De-Mail has been given the go-ahead: Mentana-Claimsoft GmbH, a subsidiary of listed company Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG (FP), today became the first accredited De-Mail provider. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) presented the accreditation certificate to Mentana-Claimsoft Managing Director Axel Janhoff. The FP subsidiary also gave a public presentation of its business model. 'Initially, we are making the distinction between our De-Mail portal, which is geared towards private customers and small businesses, and our De-Mail gateway for companies and authorities', explains Axel Janhoff. The following applies both to companies and authorities and to private individuals and small business owners: the cost of sending a De-Mail depends on the amount of data sent and starts at 28 cents (not including VAT). This is the cost of sending a 'mini De-Mail' of up to 50 KB. A standard De-Mail, for which users can send De-Mails of up to 1 MB, costs 33 cents (not including VAT) – which is considerably cheaper than sending a normal standard letter by post. A number of extra options are also available at a surcharge, including confirmation of delivery or receipt.
De-Mail gateway for companies and authorities
For integration of up to 10 users, for example, the gateway costs EUR99 (net) a month. 'The gateway will pay for itself if every user sends less than 10 De-Mails a month', Mr Janhoff goes on to say. De-Mail addresses for companies and authorities are based on the following format: joe.bloggs@any company.de-mail.de .

Outlook: '10% of the relevant mail potential'
De-Mail is a digital letter: it is binding in that both the sender and recipient must be securely identified when registering for the first time, before they are able to use the technology. Confidentiality is guaranteed with especially strong encryption. The De-Mail Act, which came into force in May 2011, defines the security requirements and provides the legal basis so that De-Mail has the same legal effect as conventional mail.
