Amazon Launches an Email Service

Ever bent on competing with everyone, Amazon.com launched an email service yesterday called WorkMail. The new service is exclusively for the workplace — not personal use. Amazon will be charging subscription fees of $4 a month for each account on WorkMail, prices that are in keeping with both Office 365 and Google Apps for Work. Additional features include calendaring, calendar sharing, tasks, contact lists, distribution lists, resource booking, public folders and away messages. The subscription will give users 50 gigabytes of email storage as well.
