ZipMail - Compression for Microsoft Outlook

Attached files Zip compression for Microsoft Outlook

Each time a user attaches file(s) in Microsoft Outlook, ZipMail automatically and transparently compresses this file(s) into a Zip file. Since attached files are responsible for up to 95% of the Messaging traffic (and thus storage), ZipMail will reduce your needs for Microsoft Outlook / Exchange related network bandwidth and disk space by 35% to 50% or even more.

ZipMail adds transparent Zip compression features to the Microsoft Outlook email client software.

Once ZipMail installed, the files attached by the users to their Microsoft Outlook messages get automatically and transparently compressed into Zip files, saving huge amounts of network bandwidth and disk space.

Live Demonstration

ZipMail also provides fully integrated automatic and transparent decompression of Microsoft Outlook attached Zip files.

By significantly reducing the size of your email attachments, ZipMail reduces your messaging costs while increasing the performance of your Microsoft Exchange servers and networks.
ZipMail is one of the fastest, cleanest and easiest ways to reduce the total cost of ownership of messaging systems based on Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook.

  

More Details

All of the multi-year experience of MK Net.Work in email compression software!

ZipMail benefits from the multi-year experience of MK Net.Work in providing advanced compression solutions for email client software since 1995.
Contrary to all of the competitor products, ZipMail compresses the files BEFORE they are attached to the messages.
As soon as files to attach are selected (or dropped) they get immediately compressed into Zip files and the resulting Zip files are attached to the messages.
This is a fundamental difference.
ZipMail by compressing the files before they are attached to the messages guarantees a 100% compatibility with any further internal Outlook process like encryption, MAPI spooler management etc...
This is because the attached files do not need any process to be triggered when messages are saved or sent to be compressed. They are already compressed!
Since ZipMail is not having any processes running at the time messages are saved or sent, this becomes the guaranty that the internal Outlook processes will not be disturbed!

ZipMail is almost 100% independant of the Outlook Object Model and APIs. Too many versions of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook service packs have made add-in products ascending compatibility a goal that is impossible to reach. By implementing new and innovative programming techniques, we have been able to get ZipMail out of the Microsoft Outlook critical zone and we are now proud to provide a new ZipMail version compatible with any version of Microsoft Outlook: 97, 98, 2000, XP, 2003 and 2007 (including their respective sub-versions, and service packs!), under any 32 bits version of Windows, in any language including Japanese, Chinese and any any double-byte languages.

Transparent and instant Zip compression of Microsoft Outlook attached files

Attach your files as usual, click the Insert / File menu or hit the Paperclip button of your Microsoft Outlook client, your selected file(s) get instantly compressed into Zip files before being attached to your Microsoft Outlook messages. All is automatic and transparent, no additional action is required.

Extensive support of Drag & Drop

Drag & Drop files and folders on your Microsoft Outlook messages, they all get instantly compressed by ZipMail into a Zip file that is then attached automatically to your message!
When Dragging and Dropping folders, the relative paths of the dropped files are embedded in the resulting Zip file, enabling your recipients to reproduce the original folders and subfolders when decompressing the Zip file.

Transparent and instant decompression of the Zip attached files

In your Microsoft Outlook client, detaching or opening your Microsoft Outlook attached Zip files will decompress them transparently.

Zip standard and AES Encryption and Decryption

ZipMail for Microsoft Outlook provides the full support of the Zip standard encryption and of the AES (AES 128, AES 192 and AES 256) encryption.
ZipMail can be configured to display a password field in the attached file selection dialog of the Lotus Notes client, enabling the users to optionally password-protect and encrypt their compressed Zip files. Password rules can be defined to force the users to enter passwords having a minimum length and including a minimum number of numeral digits.
When opening a Zip encrypted attached file (whatever is its encryption type), the ZipMail transparent decompression feature displays a dialog enabling the user to enter the Zip file password. Access to the encrypted Zip file is granted only if the right password is provided.
