- How MeriEmail
got started?
MeriEmail is a new e-mail revolution that
eliminates use of standard e-mail addresses. Instead, the user of MeriEmail
selects a confidential screen name (nick name) for sending and receiving all
online messages. Originally, MeriEmail was developed to shield children from
unsolicited mails. Following the tragic event of September 11th, we believe
that the system has much broader and more immediate applications by keeping
terrorists out of all e-mail inboxes. We believe many junk mailers and others
may soon attempt to spread fear through e-mail throughout the country by
exploiting, especially our nation's children who are the most vulnerable. We
believe MeriEmail could soon replace the way e-mails are sent and received.
This new e-mail messaging system was developed by Computer Collaborative to
block all junk mailers from reaching computers of their intended
targets.

difference between e-mail and MeriEmail?
Although, MeriEmail technology is
not unique by itself but the application of this technology we believe is quite
unique because MeriEmail has no e-mail address such as Rock@hotmail.com or
Mushi@aol.com etc. Instead, the user of MeriEmail selects a confidential
screen name/nick name (rock234, mushi897 etc.) for sending and receiving all
online messages.
