This morning a tweet came across the wire announcing that Goodmail will begin offering Certified Email services to all Microsoft Mailboxes starting on or around February 17th. This should be good news in light of the service changes for Certified Email at Yahoo! announced on January 29th.
Goodmail announced the start date of the Certified Email program at Hotmail/MSN to all of their clients today; what was previously rumor has manifested into a fact with a start date. According to Wikipedia Hotmail users number 270 Million as of 2008 which will represent a significant increase in the number of people receiving and using certified email on a day to day basis.
The adoption of Certified Email at Hotmail/MSN will guarantee inbox placement and enable links and images for marketers using the service. The inclusion and rendering of the Certified Email icon will most likely take place later this summer but in the mean time marketers utilizing Goodmail’s CE will begin to see immediate privileges when sending to Microsoft domains.
Cheers!

CONGRATS to Goodmail! This is great news for them and the industry and brings definitively better and more certain benefits than was previously available via the paid safe list vendors.
