All users of WinZip 15 and later can make use of WinZip's built-in e-mail program. In WinZip versions earlier than WinZip 15, there was an e-mail feature, but it was only available as part of WinZip Jobs, which required a Pro registration.
WinZip's built-in e-mail program, by default, includes support for three webmail services; Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo mail. Other e-mail services can be configured by you as well. To do this you would need to enter the:
- SMTP server
- SMTP port
- The type of connection encryption (if applicable)
- Whether or not a user name and password is necessary to send from this account
Entering the specific information for your e-mail service should allow you to use most types of e-mail services.
The E-mail feature for the WinZip Job Wizard found in earlier WinZip versions does not support the use of an e-mail account that requires an SSL connection. In order to use this older e-mail feature with accounts requiring this (which would be most webmail accounts) you would need an alternate account that does not require an SSL connection. One webmail provider that did not require an SSL connection reported to us was GMX. If that or any other similar service is still available, you could use it with the older WinZip Jobs e-mail feature. WinZip Computing has no affiliation with the GMX webmail provider, nor is any guarantee made as to its availability.
