Guide Review
Easily Attached
It can be a bit tedious to open a file in a compression utility, compress it, start your email client, create a message, attach the zipped file and send it.
With Zip & Email, all this is done in a few easy clicks. Zip & Email integrates with Windows and offers the option to zip and send any file from its context menu in Explorer. Not only can it zip-compress the files you send, it also can protect them with a password. This nifty utility even can send mail directly to the recipient without using a SMTP server.
The included simple address book is useful, but access to the Windows address book would be nice, as would of course be the option to save sent mail to the default email client (or maybe sending yourself a copy -- without the file).
