## What is Sophos Secure Email?

Sophos Secure Email is a containerized and secure email app that lets you fully separate enterprise and private data on your device. It handles the corporate emails, contacts and calendar from the company’s Exchange server. Corporate data is protected with AES-256 encryption and the export of data is controlled by the company’s Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules. Sophos Secure Email allows the implementation of BYOD programs and fulfills advanced data protection needs in selected industries like finance, government or healthcare.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Sophos Secure Email app works only in combination with the Sophos Mobile Control Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) software. Please check with your IT department whether your company uses Sophos Mobile Control. If it does not, please do not install this app as it will not operate without the corresponding EMM server.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2021-07-20, version 8.36.3*

Absolute garbage, notifications do not work for iOS, no Face ID support.

### 3/5 — Notifications

*2020-11-29, version 8.16.2*

Notifications not working consistently

### 1/5 — Absolute Joke

*2019-04-03*

This app is ridiculous.
The functionalities of a basic email app is able to notify me when I have an email.
I only have this because I have to, I would never download and keep such badly designed, serviced and dysfunctional app.
Locked me out of my professional email because my “password is too old” and it’s like 6 months old! On top of all the ridiculous situations I have to put up because this app like: missing out on extremely important email because it’s just a failure to notify. I’m locked out of it in an emergency situation because of a stupid password that no one cares about. Absolute trash app. Shame on whoever designed this.

### 1/5 — Problems since last update

*2018-11-25*

There are major syncing issues since the last update. I uninstalled the app & reinstalled, then got all the latest mails. Now not working again!!

### 3/5 — Alerts?

*2018-06-10, version 7.56.6*

The app looks good and is easy to use.  My calendar alerts for reminder great.  However; you are not alerted when you get an email.  My work requires this app for security etc.  I’m finding emails late when I open sophos email.  No icon counter and no screen alerts.  I’ve tried everything including our IT department.  Androids seem to work, but a lot of us use iPhones.  It would be 5 stars if it had email alerts which is extremely important for my job.

### 3/5 — Just okay

*2018-03-15*

Works well when it works, but lately I've had to delete and reinstall a few times. It opens and authenticates, but then sticks in a refresh loop and never actually takes you to your mail. It was fixed by closing and reopening again, but that's stopped now and it just won't open. Will try reinstalling again..

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2016-04-26, version 7.0.3*

Notifications do not work. No way to tell if you have new email unless you open the app and check. Hopefully they will fix it soon.
