With state-of-the-art compression and encryption technology, WinZip Courier delivers the power of WinZip where it’s needed most—your email system! This easy-to-use tool seamlessly integrates with your email application to automatically zip and protect outgoing files as you work. Simply write your email, attach your files, and click Send—Courier does the rest!

• Does it take forever to send emails with large file attachments?
• Have you ever had emails bounce because their attachments exceeded server size limits?
• Worried that someone other than your intended recipients can access your email attachments?
• Did you know you can send files faster, more reliably, and more securely when they're zipped?

For many of us, emailing files to coworkers, family, and friends is a regular part of our day. We often need to send large file attachments via email – files such as slide-show presentations, image-heavy documents, family photos albums, and confidential forms.

Unfortunately, because of the restrictions of email, you may often encounter issues associated with sharing such files:

• delayed delivery
• blocked or bounced emails
• congested network links
• mailbox overloading
• increased security risks

WinZip Courier 3 helps eliminate these emailing issues – automatically!

• Zip email attachments automatically
  Courier automatically zips your outgoing email attachments, allowing you to send files faster, more reliably, and more securely using your own customized preferences. These preferences include:
• Custom file extensions – Send blocked Zip files by automatically changing their file extensions.
• Compression methods – Choose Zipx: Best method compression to apply the latest WinZip technology, producing our smallest Zip file size to date. Alternatively, choose Zip: Legacy compression for compatibility with older Zip programs.
• Image resizing – If you enable automatic image resizing, Courier will first resize your pictures to fit standard computer screens then zip and send them—all with one click! This ensures that your photos and other image files are delivered in the fastest, most reliable, and most accessible way.
• Protect your email attachments
  Select Courier’s optional file encryption capability to password-protect your attachments from unauthorized access. Courier offers manual and automatic encryption options, allowing you to choose how hands-on (or hands-off) you would like the zip/encrypt process to be. Available encryption methods include Zip 2.0 encryption for maximum compatibility with recipients' systems, 128-bit AES encryption, and 256-bit AES encryption for maximum attachment security.
• Preview email attachments
  Want to know what’s in a zipped email attachment? Courier provides you with an instant view of the contents of zipped attachments directly in the Outlook preview pane. When previewing an email that includes a Zip file attachment, simply click on the Zip file’s icon displayed in the email’s header. Courier will display an expanded list of the file’s contents using a simple tree structure.
• Want to unzip and open a specific file in the tree? Simply double-click directly on the file to open it with its associated application for viewing, editing or saving—all in one easy step!
• If you're running Windows 7 or Windows Vista, Courier also allows you to preview and open the contents of Zip files directly from Windows Explorer.
• Enjoy seamless integration with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Office
  Once installed, Courier blends seamlessly into your system so that you can start enjoying its functionality immediately, without having to learn any new technology or open any additional applications.
• Microsoft Outlook toolbars
  Simply launch Outlook and start writing emails! Because Courier automatically populates the Microsoft Outlook interface with easy-to-use buttons, you can simply modify your zipping preferences as you work! 
• Enable/disable automatic zipping by toggling the Zip Attachments button.
  Enable/disable encryption by toggling the Encrypt button.
  Automatically resize a collection of images before sending them by clicking the Resize Images button.
• Manage your Courier preferences with the Compression Options buttons.
  Courier seamlessly populates the Microsoft 2010 and 2007 ribbon interface, providing you with instantly recognizable access to Courier functionality:
• In Microsoft Outlook 2003, Courier builds its own toolbar so that these same features are just a simple click away, available every time you compose a new message.
• Working with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
  Zip and email files while you work! Courier integrates with Word, Excel and PowerPoint so that you can compress, encrypt, and send open documents directly from within their associated applications. Simply select File > Send to > Mail Recipient (as a Zip file), and let Courier walk you through the process without ever leaving the application!
