### 2/5 — Random non bind lockout

*2025-04-28, version 4.4.1*

At random times the app gets an error on binding and can’t be reset. The only way to fix is uninstall the app and start again

### 3/5 — Works ok, constant need to reinstall

*2023-09-13, version 4.4.1*

Typically get a “binding error” every couple of weeks. Painful. Otherwise does what it should.

### 2/5 — Super out of date!

*2023-09-12, version 4.4.1*

InTune policy support is negatively affected. :(

### 2/5 — Needs Notification Option

*2021-09-01, version 4.4.1*

It’s useful to see what is in the box but when new emails come through it would be more helpful to see a notification with a sound.

### 2/5 — Need support for MFA or SSO with Office365

*2021-01-27, version 4.4.1*

This worked fine when authenticating with domain or cloud but it does not work with Office365 2-step authentication.

### 2/5 — Binding not found?

*2020-09-26, version 4.4.0*

No clue what this error means. App hasn’t worked for months, if not a year.

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2020-07-27*

Need push notifications so we know when new stuff has been sent 
And also need to be able to empty the inbox

### 3/5 — Needs to have notifications

*2019-08-17, version 4.2*

This needs to have notifications and the ability to differentiate between read and unread emails

### 4/5 — Great little app

*2019-06-19, version 4.2*

Agree with some of the other comments that this is a great way to bridge the gap and have your work email on a personal phone, especially if like me you don’t like carrying two phones out of hours. 

Just two other features in my opinion would make this perfect. 

1) notifications of new emails arriving

2) something to highlight read and unread messages. 

Add these in and I’d ditch outlook from all my phones.

### 2/5 — Cannot see emails

*2018-11-12, version 4.0.2*

I use this for a work alternative, and the ability to see old emails and newer emails has gone it shows irrelevant emails

### 1/5 — Inbox

*2018-09-27, version 4.0.2*

Doesn’t seem to the ability in the settings to filter out old messages in the inbox. It shows everything and not just what is in the online inbox at the time

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2018-09-25, version 4.0.2*

Current version crushes in iOs12

### 1/5 — Only works if you’re a Mimecast customer.

*2018-08-15, version 4.0.2*

You might ask why you’d need it if you’re not a customer?

That’s because some idiot IT departments think it’s somehow a good use of their customers’ time to log into Mimecast every time they send you a simple, non sensitive email. 

Duuuuuur. The idea of email is to make things faster not desperately slower. 

So, Mr Mimecast, I’d like you to have an app that IT department victims like me can use to access your customers’ annoying emails because this one doesn’t do the trick. 

Thank you.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2018-06-10, version 4.0.2*

Worked the first day I installed and used it, now for the last 4 days it just keeps saying “ loading content “ and I cannot open important emails when out of the office. Total waste of time in my opinion.

### 1/5 — Reduction in service

*2017-08-21, version 3.6.1*

Mimecast have just removed the ability to see multiple email accounts on the app. This means you now have to log out and log back in under different emails to access them

Please bring back the ability to view multiple accounts soon

### 1/5 — Removed Multiple Accounts

*2017-08-04, version 3.6*

Worst feature change. It was my primary reason for using this app. Why would you remove something that was working perfectly fine?! 👎👎👎

### 2/5 — Great service, lousy app!

*2017-05-06, version 3.5*

Great service for a small business, but the app is noticeably lacking access to calendar, no notifications, and sending through the app syncs sent mail to the inbox in Outlook. Hoping for updated functionality soon.

### 1/5 — Tempermental!

*2017-04-27, version 3.5*

This app is very tempermental! Half of the time it doesn't show all my emails or in the right order. And the other half of the time it is telling me that my credentials are wrong. 
Useless.

### 4/5 — Much improved

*2017-03-31, version 3.4.2*

This app has been improved quite a bit, taking the key features from the desktop versions.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Update your app!

*2026-05-13, version 4.4.1*

Why hasn’t this been updated on five years? It’s a useful app but it’s not kept current

### 1/5 — Won’t Log In

*2025-01-17, version 4.4.1*

My company uses SSO with Entra to log in. I cannot get past the initial screen where I enter my email address. The circle just spins forever. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times and rebooted my phone.

### 1/5 — Needs updating

*2024-10-06, version 4.4.1*

Great app for admin work in monitoring Admin Held Queue while away from workstation but has some major issues that need addressing hence the 1 star review. In iOS 18 the application now freezes when opening any image attachments and either requires a restart or a long wait for the option to close the image. Additionally, the mobile app does not log much of the activity done by the administrator using the app compared to administrator logging while using a web browser from workstation. Please devs do some much needed work on this app.

### 1/5 — Emails

*2024-06-23, version 4.4.1*

Is there an issue with the app as of today, June 22?

### 1/5 — Can't make it work

*2024-01-23, version 4.4.1*

Comes up with a message “binding not found” when I try to open any mailbox

### 1/5 — Binding issue-reinstall  constantly

*2023-11-27, version 4.4.1*

There’s a binding issue and I have to install at least once a month on the iPhone

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2022-11-19, version 4.4.1*

It does jot even open worthless

### 1/5 — Unsupported app - take it down

*2022-01-28, version 4.4.1*

This app is clearly unsupported and has stopped working as others have reported. I’m getting this mysterious binding error too. Why allow apps that aren’t updated regularly and confirmed to be working remain here?!

### 1/5 — App has topped working

*2021-02-03, version 4.4.1*

Get an error on my app saying I no longer have access to the app.. it works via a browser and desktop apps but the mobile app isn’t working

### 1/5 — Binding not found error

*2020-11-10, version 4.4.1*

Can’t manage any of the queues

### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2017-03-24, version 3.4.2*

Great mail application for enterprise users! Super secure, smooth & fast! Definitely works well, and has cloud based functionality. Great for on the go use, attachments pull up easily, emails are formatted correctly, the search functions are accurate as well! Definitely recommended!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2016-07-19, version 3.2.3*

Clean, easy, functional work archiving app

### 5/5 — Great app with super quick search

*2015-07-27, version 2.6*

Finding an elusive email from way back is really fast. I can get the info I need from anywhere. Great app!

### 5/5 — Amy lee Rall

*2015-03-25, version 2.5*

Good job guys on the app!

### 5/5 — Email notification - realease user emails by superadmin

*2014-12-08, version 2.4*

Dear Mimecast team,

You guys doing a fantastic job with the mobile apps keep the improvements happening.

Two things would be super great one is that if we can get notifications when emails come in with a little number of email showing unread similar to iphone and ipad.

We can use it as a backup if exchange is down when in the move and also those phones we don't approve or personnel phones for our users.

The other one is I get users always saying can you release my email as I am the admin.

Would be good if we have a super admin section based on our login credentials where this can be done.

Again good work with the apps!

### 5/5 — Great App!!!

*2014-11-12, version 2.3*

Great App!!!

### 5/5 — Most accessible archive

*2012-12-09, version 1.0.6*

Another app to securely access,reply & forward my email anytime. Great stuff.till the next great development.

### 5/5 — Gets it done

*2012-11-17, version 1.0.6*

If your company uses Mimecast, you need this.

### 5/5 — 100% useful. Great app.

*2012-10-18, version 1.0.6*

Thank you Mimecast.

### 5/5 — Thank u Mimecast

*2012-10-12, version 1.0.6*

Just what I needed to manage our Mimecast deployment while roaming the datacenter. Great job
