PawPawMail was designed to simplify email to allow seniors / the elderly / aging parents... in short, anyone unfamiliar with computers to use a simple email system immediately.
Elderly Email or just Easy Email -- it avoids the clutter with a clean, simple interface. No menus, double-clicking, selecting, forwarding... the user won't ever even need to see an email address. The interface may not win awards for beauty -- but it works beautifully.
It's set up by a loved one to make email easy and safe for the senior while allowing you to keep in touch with aging parents and friends in a way they couldn't have imagined.
The Front Page of PawPawMail says it all. Send or receive e-mail, or view your photo album.
There's nothing to confuse. No ads. No menus, tabs, modes, preferences. Do you see what you want to do? Just press it.
It's everything you want to help you stay in touch, with nothing unnecessary.
Still nothing to confuse! See your new messages. See your saved messages.
It's all right there. Count the buttons on the page.
Save the message, reply to it, or delete it.
Spend time e-mailing, not struggling with technology.
The message to which you are replying is above; you simply type below.
You probably noticed not a single e-mail address, BCC, or formatting bar up until now.
It's not an oversight. It's unencumbered by design. Every element of PawPawMail was designed with seniors in mind and fine-tuned with seniors at the keyboard.
And still no e-mail addresses.
The Manager sets up the User's address book in advance, complete with notes and photographs for easy access. The User just clicks.
Read About PawPawMail after you've finished this page to find out more about how to manage a senior's PawPawMail account.
Just like in replying to a message, when you create a new message from scratch, all you have to do is type.
Anyone in the address book can send pictures just by adding them to an email sent to a PawPawMail account.
[NB: it takes about 15 seconds to take and send a picture to a PawPawMail account via an iPhone]
Just by clicking on "View Photos" on the main menu, the User sees an automatic slideshow to which all his or her friends and family can contribute.
