Securely Sign with S/MIME

Add a secure digital signature to your emails and encrypt your email before sending with S/MIME encryption.

2FA

Lock down your account by using Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Generate app passwords for applications that do not support 2FA.

Your Data on Your Terms

Send and Receive with
Confidence and Protection

Our email relay and spam protection systems provide unparalleled services for guaranteed email deliverability and the ultimate spam protection. With hand-curated spam filters done by real humans your inbox is kept safe. And our guaranteed delivery makes sure your emails reach their recipient.

Iron-Clad Spam Protection

Spammers keep finding innovative ways to bypass spam protection. We provide complete protection by scanning all incoming and outgoing email to eliminate threats before reaching users.

Guaranteed Delivery

Lets us know exactly where a problem lies with delivery tracing. While bad things may happen email continuity kicks in so you will never miss an important message, even if your server is unreachable.

E-mail Continuity

In the event your email server is not reachable your email is queued for 7 days and delivered email once the server is reachable.

E-mail Shadowing

An industry exclusive - shadowing - which redelivers any inbound email received in the past 30 days. This assures delivery and fast recovery of any missing or accidentally deleted message.

Deny/Allow List

Block or allow delivery based on your rules. Add single email addresses or domains to control what enters your inbox.

Tracing & Forensics

Find the real reason behind deliverability issues to ensure every message reaches their destination.

WMD Office

An alternative to Google Docs/Sheets/Presentations. Collaborate with team members on documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Build a community with blogs, wiki and forums.

MatterMost

An alternative to Slack - message your team privately, share images and files and create private chat rooms.

WM Drive

Upload, download, share, access and edit documents via Zimbra, WMD Office and WM Drive from anywhere.

Comparing it with the competition

How does our mail offering stack up against the more well-known email services?
G Suite

Google
G Suite

It does everything you need and it’s cheap and reliable.

But is security and data privacy a concern for you and your customers? Where is your data and who can access it? How much of your data is scraped and sold?

Microsoft Exchange

Microsoft Exchange

They are a well-known company, and there are no risks in choosing them.

Microsoft may be the common choice but why pay that much when Zimbra offers very similar functionalities at a much lower TCO? Zimbra is also open source and compatible with Outlook.

Office 365

Microsoft Office 365

I don’t have time or resources to manage an on-premises messaging platform.

WMD offers managed Zimbra hosting options. We setup and maintain the servers so all you need to do is connect and get work done.

Zimbra Open Source
