On boarding (a had a website connectivity issue) was a bit more difficult than advertised but, the team support got me through it. They are great, responsive and courteous. My existing clients have not warmed up to it yet, new clients seem bothered by the extra step. I wonder in the instructions can be heavier on pros.

Excellent but Expensive

I like Hushmail, I just think it's expensive!

I really believe that for the rate I am paying I should have access to create my own templates and to schedule the time for email to be sent. These features are not available unless I pay more, but I this is already one of the most expensive email services for one of the most basic systems.

I actually was and still intend to shop around, only for the reasons above. I got in a time crunch while getting my business set up, and I needed an email service that included a BAA up front, so I appreciate that. I just think it could be more affordable.

I can’t get a person on the phone

I can’t get a person on the phone. There is no customer phone number listed on the site. I am locked out of my account because I forgot my password but there is no way to change my password because they won’t allow you to do a password reset. Now I cannot access my professional emails from clients or educational programs. Basically, it appears that I have no recourse. Don’t pick this service. Find another encrypted service. I am regretful that I chose this one in the first place

Hi Marcie, I'm really sorry for your frustration, and for any confusion caused. If you signed up for Hushmail via Brighter Vision, you should be able to contact them directly for any support, and they should have the ability to reset your password. Wishing you the best.

I am overall pleased with the experience, except that I cannot send encrypted mail because those who receive them find it too complicated to open them when they don't have the app. Are there any instructions that I can share with them to help them open those emails in an easier manner?

We're glad you're pleased overall, and we're always here to help if you'd like assistance introducing these resources to your clients.

Total lack of responsiveness from customer service

I have requested help, via Hushmail's form, with migrating my email over from my old account. I have received NO response either time. So now I am paying for two separate email accounts, neither of which is working as it should.

We're very sorry to hear about your experience. Our team did respond to your requests, but due to a domain setup issue, the replies didn't reach your inbox. We've since contacted you at another address to get things back on track, and we'll work with you until everything is fully resolved.

We understand the importance of having your email set up smoothly, and we’ll continue to work with you directly until everything is resolved.

Some of my clients have found checking their encrypted emails a bit of a challenge. What do they need to do to get their messages? Is it complicated? Otherwise, I am happy with the service. Thanks

Thank you for your feedback! You're right — for some clients, opening their first encrypted email can feel like a bit of a learning curve. To make things easier, we wrote a blog post that walks through exactly what your clients will see when you send them an encrypted message: https://blog.hushmail.com/blog/what-your-clients-experience-when-you-send-an-encrypted-email

At the end of the post, you'll find a downloadable handout to give to your clients, providing them with step-by-step instructions. Many practitioners find that sharing this resource helps clients feel more comfortable and confident with the process.

We're glad to hear you're happy with the service otherwise, and we're always here if you or your clients need support.
