ZipMail - Zip Compression for Lotus Notes
Automatic and transparent Zip compression and decompression for Lotus Notes attached files
ZipMail Client for Lotus Notes adds transparent Zip attached file compression features to the Lotus Notes client.
Once ZipMail is installed, the files attached by the users to their Lotus Notes messages and documents get automatically and transparently compressed into Zip files, saving huge amounts of network bandwidth and disk space. Zip compression of the attached files occurs automatically and transparently on the client computer, before the files are attached to the messages. There is nothing to install on your Domino servers.
ZipMail also provides fully integrated automatic and transparent decompression of Lotus Notes attached Zip files.
By significantly reducing the size of your email attachments, ZipMail reduces your messaging costs while increasing the performance of your email servers and networks. ZipMail is one of the fastest, cleanest and easiest ways to reduce your total cost of Lotus Notes ownership.

Zip standard and AES Encryption and Decryption
ZipMail Client for Lotus Notes 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.
