If you've been a WordPress.com user in any capacity, you're probably aware that we believe in democratizing publishing and e-commerce. We believe in designing products for everyone, emphasizing accessibility, performance, security, and ease of use. We believe great software should focus on you, so you can share your story, product, or services, and achieve your dreams. We believe you have a say in this product and how it can make your life easier every day you use it.

Since last year, we've been working hard to enable more features for Professional Email and our other email products. One of the things we heard from you is that you want annual payment options, so you don't have to worry about monthly payouts and pricing. Now, we're happy to announce that annual plans are officially available for Professional Email. Don't worry: our 3-month free trial is still available, so that you can try out the best-in-class email product with either payment method — without committing up front.

And we haven't stopped there. WordPress.com now offers one-click webmail access, making it easier than ever to access and manage your emails directly within your site admin panel. That's better for you, your community, and your customers. We're also working on integrating webmail into the admin panel to make it easier to manage Professional Email and save you more time to focus on things important to you.

We want to make sure we continue building a product that makes your everyday life a bit better. If you have any ideas for features you'd want us to add, or any cool Professional Email experiences to share with us, drop us a line. We're in this together!
