Webmail Messenger Pro/Ent only

CipherMail Webmail Messenger is a secure webmail add-on for the CipherMail portal. If a message must be encrypted but S/MIME, PGP, or encrypted PDF delivery is not available, the message is delivered to a protected mailbox on the Webmail Messenger portal instead of your regular inbox.

Receiving email:

  • When a protected message is sent, the external recipient receives a notification email that includes a secure link to the Webmail Messenger portal.

  • When a recipient signs in to the portal for the first time, they will be prompted to create a password.

  • After setting a password, the recipient can sign in with their email address and the new password to view the message.

  • For added security, you can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) using a time-based one-time password (TOTP) app.

Reading and replying:

  • After you sign in, you can view the secure message in your web browser and download any attachments.

  • You can send a secure reply directly from the portal.

  • You can access Webmail Messenger from any modern web browser on desktop or mobile; no special software or certificates are required.

After you sign in, your Inbox opens. From there, you can read emails, delete them, and send replies:

Webmail Messenger Inbox

Features:

  • Automatically adapts to small screens, including smartphones.

  • HTML support

  • Full Unicode support

  • 2FA using a time-based one-time password (TOTP) app

  • When enabled in your settings, you can compose replies and create new emails

Hint

Use Auto cleanup to automatically remove emails after a set amount of time. When enabled, messages that exceed the retention period you select are deleted from Webmail Messenger to help conserve storage and keep your mailbox tidy. Choose the time limit that fits your needs. Note that once messages are removed by Auto cleanup, they are no longer available in Webmail Messenger.

Example of an email as it appears in the Inbox:
