XGate Satellite Email
It’s easy to get started with XGate. Once it’s up and running, you can read and write your emails offline, saving airtime, then simply press a button – XGate will dial your satellite phone for you and hang up when it’s done. If your call drops, XGate can redial and simply pick up where it left off. And only XGate eliminates the back and forth of email protocols before using precious airtime.
Faster. Cheaper. Better.
XGate uses only 5% of the data of a standard email program, on average. That means you save up to 95% on satellite airtime costs compared to using your email without XGate.
Your Email, Your Way
XGate lets you use either an included XGate address or your own familiar email address and client (such as Outlook or Apple Mail). There are even options to set the send and receive addresses so others see whatever email address you would like to show them.
Virus Scanning and Spam Filters
XGate servers scan every message for viruses and SPAM, blocking them before they go over your satellite system, saving you airtime and keeping your machine clean. XGate also has full DES/PGP encryption for optimum security.
“BigMail”
XGate “Bigmail” lets you know when someone sends you a large file, shows you the subject and size, and lets you decide to download it over your satellite connection or wait until you have access to another connection. You get the files you need when you need them, and save the cat videos for later.
XGate Speaks Your Language
More than 22 languages available.

Can I Check My Primary Email With XGate?
Yes!
You can forward your Gmail, Mac mail, Outlook email, work email, and almost every other email service to XGate and then mask your outgoing email address. Your contacts will never know that XGate is involved.
(Can’t forward your email? We can fetch it for you. Learn more here).
When you forward your primary email, XGate will treat it just like any other email you receive: by providing incredible compression and BigMail filtering on it.
If an incoming email is above a certain size, XGate will send a notification with the subject line, sender, and size of the email and you can decide whether or not you’d like to download the entire email over satellite, or wait until you have another type of Internet connection.
BigMail Filtering in a nutshell: it keeps you connected without breaking the bank.
