I'd focus on who would get value out of your features. Figure out what your top 1-2 features are, and think of who needs extra privacy. People in the government, in purchasing? Senators? I think your pricing is way off unless you can find a super niche segment who are crying out for your product. People don't like to spend $50 per year on an email, much less per month. Let me ask you this: what kind of person would need to securely share access to your email? Probably someone in charge. Work from there. I hope you figure it out. It seems a little bit to me like you're trying to reinvent email and charge a premium for it, which is a tough product to sell.

"People don't like to spend $50 per year on an email, much less per month." I completely agree from the consumer side of things. I'm hoping that for businesses who have many people touching the same email addresses it is a drop in the hat. I'm just afraid that these businesses are already tied to big name players offering less niche products. "Let me ask you this: what kind of person would need to securely share access to your email? Probably someone in charge. Work from there." This is a good point. The other types of people on my radar: those that frequently work with contractors/personal assistants and single customer service emails managed by multiple employees (which is probably managed by someone in charge like you said). " It seems a little bit to me like you're trying to reinvent email" That's actually what I was hoping to avoid. My goal was more to add an extra layer, that people would be willing to pay a premium for. Great advice and food for thought!

  As another price point, I believe Google apps for business is $50 / yr / person.
