AutonomyCentral uses Open Source 2048 bit RSA public key and 256 AES encryption to protect and control your valuable information wherever you and USB drive may roam, and provides the following services:
VaultletMail: Not only do you get secure spam-free email, but you're in charge too: you can control whether your messages are printed, archived or forwarded, and even how long they live. On top of that, VaultletMail also makes it a snap to send and receive secure messages from anyone too, using SpecialDelivery Viewer and Webmail Add-on for Firefox.
SecureNotes: Here's an easy-to-use text editor that automagically encrypts and the protects whatever you type into it. It's like TextEditor.app wrapped in a Kevlar vest - use it to protect your important meeting notes, passwords, digital certificates, research, love letters, or just about anything that you want to type into it.
VaultletFiler DnD: The old VaultletFiler has been completely rewritten to allow you to easily protect any file you want by dragging and dropping it into the VaultletFiler DnD window.
SpecialDelivery Viewer: Using VaultletMail SpecialDelivery you can send a secure message to anyone, anywhere. Your recipients can securely view the contents of the message and respond securely with just a click or two. If your recipients are using Firefox to view their webmail, they get one-click simplicity to securely view it too!
There are 3 types of subscriptions: 1) "Basic", which is always free for personal use, 2) "Blue" accounts (for power users) which are free for the first year, and 3) "Gold" accounts which contain additional functionality aimed at business and enterprise users. "Blue" accounts are also available for free to NGOs, educational institutions and the press for non-governmental, non-profit use.
The AutonomyCentral is developed in the U.S. and is available for export worldwide to all countries that allow the use of cryptography except the US BIS's "E:1" embargoed countries: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Libya, Sudan, Syria.

Messages that you send to others are tag-lined "Send me a secure VaultletMail message anytime, anywhere!
https://production.vaultletsoft.com/dropbox?to=". If the recipient does use the webmail interface to reply to the message, there seems to be complete end-to-end encryption.
If you have got something secret to communicate - say, you sit in China negotiating this important deal, well knowing that all and any communication is being in intercepted by state security organs and forwarded to the Chinese business partner (that still is standard practise) - having VaultletSuite handle the e-mails would certainly increase the degree of difficulty of spying on your communication and putting you checkmate by preempting your negotiation strategy.
For the standard SOHO the server solution is much too expensive, but on a corporate level it may be interesting to have the client/server solution with your own domain, say in areas where compliance is an issue (law firms, pharmaceutical research labs, patent conulstancies, security firms, government, NGO).
VaultLetmail does what it says, it says what it does.
For convenient, secure end-to-end encryption and daily e-mail communication, however, the solution is still GNUPG/PGP, especially in case of small organisations.

Your observation is partially correct - The VaultletSuite 2 Go is simultaneously a free, demo, and an payed online subscription service.
That means that it's a hybrid, and thus has no easily checked off category that it belongs to.
Here's a bit of detail on the differentiation between the 3 type of free and pay subscriptions:
1) Basic subscription: individuals get this for free for personal use. This option could be considered freeware.
2) "Blue" subscription: non-profits, educational institutions and the press get this type of account for free, renewable on a yearly basis. Everyone else gets their first year for free and thereafter either pays for it (with money, referrals, and/or beta testing) service or drops back to the "Basic" option. This option could be considered demoware-ish.
3) "Gold" subscription: everybody pays for this, the groups who get the "Blue" version for free get this version for half price. This is a straight up "pay to use" service.
What's the distinction in functionality between the three types?
1) The "Basic" accounts provide individuals with easy to use, multilingual and portable crypto as an online service only.
2) "Blue" accounts have numerous email propagation control and controlled attachment viewing features added in.
3) Finally, the "Gold" accounts (will) allow senders to control a number of different file types sent as attachments.
And now, for the final distinction between the "Basic", "Blue" and "Gold" accounts: the "Blue" and "Gold" accounts should both include offline functionality by the time the VaultletSuite 2 Go reaches v3.0.
I hope this helps to explain the differences in pricing, licensing and functionality. Thanks for taking the time to comment on the lack of clarity in published license type.
Best regards,
Rick
Good question, and thanks for asking. Here's the URL to the pricing information: https://www.vaultletsoft.com/products/vaultletsuite-client-pricing.html

The amount of new features, usability improvements and GUI polishing that this version has compared to v2.3 (which I last reviewed here) is phenomenal.
Watching this software mature over the last few major releases has been a pleasure (if not a bit more clicking that I would have liked) and should now be even easier to follow since they've finally given OS X the same level of integration that their Linux and Windows versions already had.
They've included everything I really needed and more, so now it's a matter of picking nits and talking about what I'd like to see in future releases.
Cons: The VaultletFiler app is still pretty minimalist. I'd like to see VaultletSoft implement the ability to manage multiple files within a nested directtory structure. Still, this is something I'd like to have, not something I need.

The interface is not the prettiest, but I think that goes to the hype v substance. Give some of us who desire it substance now, pretty it up later.
I am no fan of auto-updates that don't tell me exactly what they are doing to my machine and why. At least give me a link to click or something so I can see what you say should happen, check it to what actually happens to my machine.
The most recent update from them just updated, no mention of details of what it did or why. Did it change file permissions, did it install new files? Give me details over user-friendly every time. This was a surprise considering the careful attention to security details on the initial install.
VaultletSuite would serve me better if they always lean toward careful attention to security details and letting me decide vs user friendly.
As long as we can trust them to always do the right thing, it is great stuff. But blind trust is counter to secure systems. Full and open disclosure should always be the top priority. Judging by the efforts to date, I think they will get this right, if there is such a thing as getting it right. Likely it is always going to be a balancing act, danger in going to far one way or the other. It is an incredibly easy to use product given the complexity of what it does.
Overall, vaultletsuite appears to be the best/only product to address email security issues in a substantive manner. Most email users don't know or care about these types of concerns enough to even understand the problem that is being addressed. It is nice to see somebody working on solutions for those of us who do care.
Congratulations to vaultletsoft for their efforts so far. My only request is that they try to always make sure first and foremost the concerns of the security paranoid are FULLY addressed.
Your comments about trusting the updater module are right on the money, and will be addressed in the next major update, v2.4. The ability to inform the user about the motivation and extent of the changes is currently stubbed in within the Updater module - as a result of you taking the time to speak your mind, it's now at the top of the list of v2.4's new features.
Personally, I'm fond of Firefox's update process, which links to a web page that allows you to drill down to see what is the motivation for the update before proceeding. I envision doing something similar to this.
For the record, most incremental updates only touch two jar files in the installation directory: the main VaultletSuite jar, and the translation jar. The two of these files amount to about 300K, and are simply swapped with the outdated jars as the Updater finishes up. Of course, without being notified, you wouldn't know that, so I can definitely empathize with your position.
Concerning "medium sized" updates (as the Updater module describes 3-4 MB downloads to users), the changes slated to be made to the Updater module for v2.4 will require that the outdated Updater download a partial installation utility similar to (but significantly smaller than) the original installer which will then autorun, but still allow you to exit from the process if you wish. After that, future "medium sized" updates will contain an option to manually download and install them yourself too.
I'll make sure that everybody's advised of the 2.4 release before it takes place, so that it's not a surprise. Between now and then, there may be a couple of patches released that deal with improvements to the new account wizard and bug patches, but I don't envision them being obligatory (since the bugs fixed don't jeopardize security or have destructive effects), so you can skip them until v2.4 is released.
Thanks again for your feedback. As a result, everybody benefits

Industrial Strength Open Source 2048 bit RSA public key and 256 AES encryption, I looked for this but not to many company ofer this with such price, at list I did not find. Tried Hushmail but it offer only web interface and quickly expire.
Its nice to have all in one: mail, file, passwords protections.
Good to be able to install it on USB drive.
Cons:
Interface is to much MS Windows like, GUI can be inmprooved in next relizes. Maybe it will be more user frandly if will be in one window for all stuff with tabs not separate windows for everything: pass, mail, files
It confusing that after instalations you have looking a bit for app you need, in a mane derectory is a lot of apps and all of them just connect you to developer site, it could be done from menu.
Lack of Bcc option when sending messages.
--------
It will be nice to se ability to send secure emails to extarnal mailboxes
with secure word to be able open message
