Have questions? You're not the only one! Check below to see if your
question (and answer) are listed below.
How does StrongWebmail.com work?
StrongWebmail.com works just like any other webmail service (ie. Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) with one exception:
to log into your email account, you must receive a phone call at a phone number
you provided when you signed up for your StrongWebmail.com account. How does
this protect you? If someone steals your username and password, they still won't be
able to break into your email account because they can't receive a call on your phone.
Why should I use StrongWebmail.com?
Email hacking has become commonplace in recent months. You probably already
know someone who's had their email hacked. Once a hacker gains access to your
email, he can see all the personal information you've stored there, which often includes
financial statements, health records, usernames, passwords, and more. Plus,
hackers often use compromised email accounts to send spam and/or ask your contacts
for money via wire transfer. While this is going on, you may not even be aware that your
email has been hacked. With StrongWebmail.com, your email account stays safe, guaranteed.
No hackers can gain access to your account because ONLY people who can answer your
telephone can log into your email account.
Who uses StrongWebmail.com?
People who have private information stored in their email accounts - including
financial info, healthcare records, usernames, passwords, private conversations,
business intelligence, etc. - use StrongWebmail.com.
How much does StrongWebmail.com cost?
How much storage space is offered with each email account?
Do I have to sign a long-term contract to create an account?
No, no long-term committment is required to sign up for StrongWebmail.com.
All of our plans are month-to-month, and you can cancel at
any time.
Are there any setup fees?
No, we don't charge setup fees for any of our plans.
Are there any termination fees?
No, there are no termination fees - you can cancel your
StrongWebmail.com account at any time without penalty.
What payment methods do you accept?

Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card,
and PayPal.
Can I buy a yearly subscription?
We don't currently offer yearly subscriptions. However,
if demand is high enough, we'll add this feature. Please
contact us if you're interested in purchasing a yearly
StrongWebmail.com subscription.
Why do I need to enter phone numbers when I sign up for an account?
The phone numbers you enter when you sign up are used to secure your email account.
Every time you try to access your email from an unknown computer, you'll need to
receive an automated call at one of these phone numbers to verify your identity.
Should I enter more than one phone number when I sign up?
You are only required to enter one phone number when you sign up,
but we highly recommend entering several phone numbers. Because
you'll need to receive a call to log into your email account,
it's best if you enter several phone numbers that you usually
have access to, such as your cell phone, home phone, and
work phone.
Does it matter which domain I choose for my email address?
No - you can choose any of the domains listed
on the signup page (StrongWebmail.com, EmailDeadbolt.com,
MailShield.org, etc.) for your email address. We offer several
so you can choose the one you like best.
Can I use my own domain name on StrongWebmail.com?
We currently only offer the option of using your own
domain name to our Enterprise Level clients. If you're interested
in using StrongWebmail.com to protect your corporate email
and you'd like to purchase more than 50 email boxes, please
contact us at
enterprise@strongwebmailcorp.com.
What is "webmail"?
Webmail is email you access by visiting a website, as opposed to email
accessed on a computer program. Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, and Gmail are
all examples of webmail services.
Can I use Outlook with StrongWebmail.com?
No, you cannot use Outlook with your StrongWebmail.com email account because it doesn't
provide enough security. If we allowed access to
your email via Outlook, anyone with your username and password could
download your email onto their computer without going through the telephone
verification process.
Is POP3/SMTP/IMAP access included with my account?
No, POP, SMTP, and IMAP access are not included with your account because they
don't provide enough security for your email.
How big can my email attachments be?
With StrongWebmail.com, you can send and receive email attachments of up to
50MB each.

Can I forward my email to another email address?

You can even choose the specific dates and times your email should be
forwarded to another address.
What is an email filter?
An email filter lets you automatically organize your emails according
to your preferences. For example, you could create a filter that would
automatically move any new email that had the word "Sales" in the
subject line into a Sales folder in your email account. This makes
sorting through your email much easier and more efficient.
Can I create email filters in my StrongWebmail.com account?
Yes, you can create an unlimited number of email filters
in your StrongWebmail.com account.
What is an autoresponder?
An autoresponder automatically sends out a pre-written email message everytime
someone emails you. Many people use autoresponders while they're on
vacation to inform anyone who emails them that they're out of town.

required to receive a phone call the next time you log into your StrongWebmail.com
account from that computer.

How does your spam filtering work?
Our spam filtering system rapidly detects spam, phishing and viruses.
Instead of analyzing message text, we use a series of highly sophisticated algorithms
to generate fingerprints that precisely identify abuse in all language and formats.
These message fingerprints are updated in sub-minute intervals. This automated
approach delivers spam filtering accuracy of 98% or higher together with near zero false positives.
How does your virus scanning work?
Approximately 2% of all incoming email messages are viruses. We lead the email hosting industry
with strong server-level virus detection, including the use of two different anti-virus products
and fast updates to virus signatures. The anti-virus process begins with several important
pre-scanning stages, followed by two virus scanning stages and ending with virus notifications and
detailed statistics.
What is SSL encryption and why is it important?
SSL stands for "Secure Sockets Layer". Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol designed to
enable applications to transmit information back and forth securely. Applications that
use the Secure Sockets Layer protocol know how to encrypt and decrypt data sent between them.
When information is sent through a website that does not use SSL encryption, a hacker can
easily intercept and read the information. If a hacker intercepts info sent over a connection
that uses SSL encryption, the information the hacker sees will be encrypted, and he will not be able
to decipher it. With SSL encryption, you can be sure the email you send and receive stays
private.
Does your webmail site use SSL encryption?
Yes, our signup pages, webmail, and Control Panel all keep your information safe by
using SSL encryption.
