Pros
This is the fasted encryption tool I have used, and the easiest to get up and running. I like the Make Private button in Outlook. I now use this all the time. I have noticed the people you send to get their own link to install the same software so you can send an encrypted message to anyone, not just people using the product.
Cons
Summary
Very easy to use, simple setup, finally I can trust my email again!

Pros
This product was simple to setup and even easier to use. The new toolbar lets me send a private email by clicking one button. I really love the new envelopes too. It makes email trustworthy and fun at the same time. My friends also seem to really appreciate that I am protecting their information on the Internet as well.
Cons
No SUN Solaris support yet.
