One of Japan’s leading free mailing list services, freeml has been operating for over ten years and has more than 6.2 million users. Packed with groupware features freeml is an ideal tool sharing schedules, photos or files among groups of coworkers, friends or club members.
In April this year we launched an iPhone application for freeml. The Android application was developed featuring the same tools with the objective of making freeml available to an even wider audience.
