Email an Archive

To send the archive you are currently working on as an email attachment, click the Email button on the toolbar or select the Email option from the Tools menu. Express Zip will open a window with options to customize your email.

Note: Express Zip will require Email Settings to be set up before an archive can be emailed. If you have not already done so, you will be prompted for your email settings before proceeding.

Email Options:

Express Zip will open a dialog window with email options that can be set before sending your archive. This manages how the attachment is sent, who the email goes to, and the subject and body of the email.

Send To: Enter the recipient of the email.

Message Content:

• Subject: Any text you enter in this line will appear as the subject of the email.
• Body: Any text entered into this box will appear as the body of the email.

Keep these settings as my defaults: If this box is check marked, the information entered will be saved for the next time an archive is sent.

Email Settings: Clicking this button will open the Email Settings dialog window where changes can be made to the email server, sending address, etc. See Options ~ Email for more details on this window.

Emailing Split Zips:

You can also open and email split zips with ExpressZip. When emailing split zips you will get an additional dialog asking you how you want to email the multi-part archive.

• Send all parts together: Selecting this option will attach all the split zip's parts to a single email and send them together. Take note that only the first and last part of the mail will contain the message body. Other parts will have empty message.
• Send one email for every part: Selecting this option will send each part with its own email. The part number will automatically be appended to the subject.
