Not at all!
The email2 Web Client is a user interface for a very sophisticated secure e-mail platform. Using the email2 Web Client may be as easy as using web-based e-mail, but the principles behind the email2 Web Client are vastly different. All message transactions occur over HTTPS connections, which employ 128-bit SSL encryption. In addition, features like simple, attachment-free video messaging are not possible with web based implementations of basic e-mail.
While email2 is able to operate wholly independently of existing e-mail systems, it also has the novel feature of being entirely conjunctive. email2 can work with existing e-mail to strengthen its inherent shortcomings. email2 does not require you to change your e-mail address, e-mail client, ISP or anything else; web based e-mail solutions do.
