This coincides with WIND’s 10th anniversary as well as the anniversary of its Libero portal.
On July 13, 1999, Libero.it was launched as the first Internet portal and free e-mail service in Italy, which has made network and Internet services part of daily life for Italians. During this 10-year period, Critical Path has been a key partner for WIND – delivering innovative offerings that enrich the Libero experience – as well as anti-abuse solutions that ensure high levels of control for managing security and protecting Libero customers against viruses and spam.

It offers a wide range of services and content, including search, news, sports, finance, entertainment, blogs, video sharing, online dating, shopping and specialty channels.

Today, Libero uses Critical Path’s Messaging platform, part of the Memova® suite of applications and services, to deliver rich webmail services such as real-time updates, message preview, customized layouts, right-click menus and more. In addition, the webmail service is the base for developing and supporting new Internet services and applications such as Jumbo Mail which has played an important role in meeting the demand for sharing large files, presentations, and personal content easily, quickly and securely.
Over the years, these new and innovative features have powered Libero’s community, delivering an exceptional, personalized end-user experience available anytime and anywhere. By choosing Critical Path’s push email solution, WIND enables customers to have simple and immediate access to their email while on the move.
