Amazon WorkMail

Amazon WorkMail is a secure, managed business email and calendar service with support for existing desktop and mobile email clients. Amazon WorkMail gives users the ability to seamlessly access their email, contacts, and calendars using Microsoft Outlook, their web browser, or their native iOS and Android email applications. You can integrate Amazon WorkMail with your existing corporate directory and control both the keys that encrypt your data and the location in which your data is stored.

By migrating to Amazon WorkMail, you are freed from the burden of hardware and software maintenance of on-premises email servers. You just enable your users for Amazon WorkMail and the service handles all of the patches, back-ups, and software upgrades. As your needs grow, it’s easy to add more users with a few clicks in the AWS Management Console.

Microsoft Outlook Compatible

Amazon WorkMail provides native support for Microsoft Outlook on Windows and Mac OS X, so users can continue to use the email client they are already using without needing to install any additional software, such as plug-ins for Microsoft Outlook. Amazon WorkMail supports all of the advanced Microsoft Outlook capabilities your users depend on, such as free/busy scheduling, delegation, and out of office replies.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Amazon WorkMail automatically encrypts all of your data at rest with encryption keys you control, using AWS Key Management Service. Amazon WorkMail also allows you to retain full control over data locality by choosing the AWS region where all of your data is stored. All data in transit is encrypted using industry-standard SSL.

Active Directory Integration

You can integrate your existing Microsoft Active Directory with Amazon WorkMail using AWS Directory Service AD Connector or run AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory Enterprise Edition ("Microsoft AD") so you don’t have to manage users in two places and users can continue to use their existing Microsoft Active Directory credentials. Alternatively, you can have Amazon WorkMail create and manage a Simple AD directory for you and have users in that directory created when you add them to your Amazon WorkMail organization.

Spam and Virus Protection

Amazon WorkMail scans all incoming and outgoing email for spam, malware, and viruses to help protect your users from malicious email.

Large Mailboxes

Amazon WorkMail provides a 50 GB mailbox size by default, eliminating the need for users to have to worry about dealing with large attachments or mailbox size restrictions.

Migration Tool

You can use the Amazon WorkMail migration tool to migrate your users’ mailboxes from on-premises email servers to Amazon WorkMail. Your users’ Microsoft Outlook email clients can automatically connect to Amazon WorkMail using Outlook’s Auto Configuration feature without requiring reconfiguration.
