Presto Services Inc. is today announcing to the PrestoPlace community a major enhancement to the Presto Mail service. This enhancement affects all Presto account managers and has already been activated as an automatic upgrade to all accounts. Note: all existing Presto features are still available, the enhancements add new functionality to the system.

Presto account managers will now have access to the all new “PrestoConnect,” account manager web site. PrestoConnect is a central online hub that enables ten powerful new functions:

1. Pre-scheduled message delivery - messages can now be scheduled for delivery at a later date and time. This can be a great time saver, allowing you to create a number of messages in one sitting that can be delivered on days and times of your choosing.

2. Activity reporting - PrestoConnect allows you to monitor email traffic that comes from approved senders, seeing when they were sent, and from whom. The PrestoConnect home page gives a “dashboard” view of scheduled and delivered communications. Plus, a communications manager lets you view delivery schedule and history. However, all email contents from approved senders remains private.

3. Delivery confirmation - All approved senders (including you) will receive notifications to your email address confirming successful delivery of messages sent to a Presto Printing Mailbox.

4. Presto webmail - In addition to being able to send Presto Mail through your favorite email program or smartphone, you can now create, schedule and send messages with attached photos or PDF documents to your Printing Mailbox user using the new Presto webmail within the PrestoConnect web site.  

5. Event reminders - PrestoConnect allows you to create and schedule printed reminders to be delivered on a specific date and time. Reminders are great for events like doctor's appointments, club get-togethers and family birthdays. PrestoConnect allows you to schedule an entire extended family of birthdays in one session that will be delivered througout the year. 

6. To-do lists - Being able to provide a printed to-do list to an elder loved one may increase their likelihood of following a medication regime, or help them remember to take care of important duties around the house. PrestoConnect helps caregivers with this handy tool.

7. Recurring deliveries - PrestoConnect allows any message, event reminder or to-do list to be delivered on a recurring schedule, either daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. This can be very helpful when creating daily medication lists, annual family birthday reminders, or any other communication on a rotating schedule.   

8. Nudge - Presto account managers seem to get stuck with all the work of family communications. So we’ve added a “nudge” feature that allows you to “gently” prompt approved senders to “get off the stick” with a customizable email from you.

9. Easy-to-use Presto templates - For the first time, you can now directly choose which of 30 beautifully-designed Presto templates your message will be printed on by using PrestoConnect webmail.

10. Health & wellness resources – PrestoConnect provides frequently updated news and resources from Caring.com, plus you can signup for a periodic newsletter containing more caregiving information and tip on using PrestoConnect.

PrestoConnect adds a major new dimension to the Presto Mail service. Not only does it provide new and handy ways to better connect family members. For the first time, it provides a significant set of online tools to people who use Presto to help provide care for their loved ones.

On every PrestoConnect home page there are handy “Tips” to get acquainted with the new functions and how to best use them. Please sign-in to your account manager page at: http://account.presto.com and see what PrestoConnect is all about. If you are not yet a Presto account manager, then visit: http://tinyurl.com/prestoconnect to read all about it.

Please also note that there is an entirely new promotional website at: http://www.presto.com that describes all of the new functionality in more depth. The members of the Presto Team wish to express their sincere appreciation to the Presto account managers that assisted with the definition, design and testing of PrestoConnect. We hope the entire Presto community finds the new Presto Mail service and PrestoConnect website to be of great value to you and your families.
