MessageLock Development is Ending.

MessageLock is an email encryption add-in for Microsoft Outlook . It is the product that launched our company over a decade ago. So it's with some sadness that we announce that we have decided to stop development on MessageLock, and that we will be ending support after 2018.


If you are still using MessageLock, we encourage you to consider moving to the free Lockbin add-in for Outlook. Lockbin makes it easy to communicate securely with anyone.  You can get a free Lockbin account now and decide later if the additional premium services are worth a $4.95/mo subscription.


You can download the free Lockbin add-in for Outlook directly from https://lockbin.com


Why are we ending MessageLock development?
When it was launched 12 years ago, MessageLock made email encryption easier for thousands of Microsoft Outlook users.

Demand for MessageLock has not kept pace with other products that we offer, including an Outlook add-in for OpenPGP, Lockbin, and PDF Postman.  The frequency of Microsoft Office updates have made it impractical to continue supporting MessageLock, given the demand.


Will MessageLock stop working?
No, your copy of MessageLock will continue to work, but it will not be supported on upcoming versions of Microsoft Office Outlook


Is Lockbin.com the only option?
While Lockbin is a great option for communicating securely and has an excellent add-in for Outlook, at a customer's request, we will gladly transfer MessageLock licenses to our other products at no charge, including:

Encryptomatic OpenPGP add-in for Outlook:  www.encryptomatic.com/openpgp

PDF Postman add-in for Outlook: www.encryptomatic.com/pdfpostman

If you have you any questions or suggestions for how we can make your transition from MessageLock easier, please contact us.

MessageLock 2.0 released with Lockbin integration

MessageLock version 2.0 has been released.  MessageLock is an email encryption add-in for Microsoft Outlook 2016/2013/2010/2007, both 64 and 32-bit versions of Outlook. MessageLock makes it easy to send secure messages using a password and a variety of tools, including zip-compatible AES-256 encryption, self-extracting/self-decrypting packages, and more.  This latest version of MessageLock includes an integration to the Lockbin.com webservice.

Lockbin is a secure platform for exchanging documents and email messages that uses a FIPS-140 cryptolibrary for HIPAA compliance. The integration with MessageLock allows users to use their free or premium Lockbin account. Emails can be downloaded directly from the Lockbin server to Outlook.  The transparent use of Public Key encryption makes it easy easy for a premium Lockbin user to send and receive secure messages to or from any other Lockbin user, as no password exchange is required.

Licensing for MessageLock email encryption add-in for Outlook, explained

In our attempt to be flexible, we have managed to confuse some people regarding MessageLock licensing. Sorry about that. We will try to clear this up.

The current licensing for MessageLock is divided into home users and business users. A user is simply a person.

Which am I? A home or business user?

You are a home user if you are using MessageLock on a computer that you own, and not using it primarily to secure business related communications.

You are a business user if you are using MessageLock on a computer that is company owned, or if you will use MessageLock primarily while conducting business communications in the course of performing your job.

How many computers can I install MessageLock on?

A home user can install MessageLock on one computer.

A business user can install MessageLock on up to 3 computers, such as a laptop, an office desktop computer, and a home computer.

Why is a business user more expensive than  a home user?

We want to make email encryption accessible for personal use. However, we have also tried to add more value to justify the higher price for a business user.  While a home user is limited to a single computer, a business user can install the software on up to three computers that he or she uses.
