History textbook authors, listen up! Clicking out from emails to watch videos on the web is a thing of the past. Our children will laugh one day when we tell them how an internet browser would open every time we clicked on a link inside an email.

Actually, go ahead and laugh now, kids: The future of email has already started, with ActiveMail.

And it’s not just the futuristic cool factor. Playing videos directly from the inbox offers the instant gratification of being able to open a message and hit play with no waiting for a new browser tab to load. Not to mention, your inbox becomes a film house, where you can go back and watch the video, stored in your email and ready to play whenever you want.

Here are a few other ways the future of email is brought to the present with ActiveMail:

1. Multiple videos? Don’t be a tab chaser: Got an email with a list of videos to watch? Someone without ActiveMail would have to click, open new tab, click, open new tab – but not you! All the videos – whether it’s two or twenty – will be playable right inside the email body. Watch one, hit pause, go to the next – but the important thing is you can see it all without chasing tabs.

2. Share it so you send the same experience: When your friends and contacts have ActiveMail installed, then you know they’re getting the same interactive experience in their inbox when you share your favorite videos. So spread the love!

3. The end of bulky video file attachments: Aside from sharing videos you find around the web, you can also upload your own to your favorite video site and then share them via email. Your friends and contacts with ActiveMail will be able to view it right away, with no bulky email attachment or link to click.
