Certify withCaseMail Certified Email is a certified email service that lets you track and certify important sent or received email using Outlook or Gmail without replacing your normal email environment.

The comparison below shows how CaseMail’s certification-on-demand approach differs from other Certified Email services that require certification to begin as part of the original sending process.
Certification begins at the time of transmission.
The email must be sent through or initiated with the provider’s software, relay, gateway, routing address, API, add-in, or active mail-flow integration. If the original message bypasses that certification process, it generally cannot be certified afterward as that provider’s original certified transaction.
The original email does not have to be certified when it is first sent.
Correspondence already sent or received can be certified later when the record becomes important.
Certification is generally initiated by the sender when the sender chooses the provider’s certified-delivery workflow. A recipient who later receives an ordinary message that never participated in that workflow generally cannot turn the original historical transaction into that provider’s certified email record.
Important email can become certifiable from either side of the correspondence.
A CaseMail user can select email from Sent items or certify an original email received in the connected Inbox—even when the other party did not use CaseMail for the original message.
Other services create their certification record by participating in the original send—through an add-in, SMTP relay, gateway, routing address, web application, API, or mail-flow rule. Their record is tied to technical events captured while the message passes through or is initiated by that provider-controlled workflow.
Continue using Outlook or Gmail as you normally do.
CaseMail does not require you to replace your normal email environment merely to preserve the ability to track or certify important correspondence.
If an email was sent and received outside the provider’s required certification path, other services do not document a mechanism that retroactively converts that ordinary historical message into the original certified transaction. The certification decision therefore has to be made before or during transmission.
Already sent or received can still matter.
Correspondence already available in a connected mailbox can be selected for certification after the fact, including an original received email in the user’s Inbox.
Other services primarily certify individual message transactions. When a negotiation, dispute, claim, or other conversation continues, later messages generate separate records rather than one evolving certified conversation with preserved prior certification states.
Revisit the conversation as it changes.
CaseMail’s model is user-driven: when a certified conversation is revisited, CaseMail can compare the current connected-mailbox conversation with the previously certified state, identify changes, and support a new certification while preserving certificate history.
Leading certified-email providers can preserve message content and attachments and may use digital signatures, timestamps, cryptographic receipts, hashes, or provider-generated evidence files. Those records are typically created around the message transaction handled by that provider at send time.
Keep the correspondence and supporting files connected to the certification record.
CaseMail preserves email-thread data, attachments, metadata, and integrity-verification information within the supporting evidence record.
Retention models differ. Some providers require the sender to preserve the receipt or evidence file, while others maintain cloud storage for a defined term or as part of a paid plan. The certified receipt and the broader ongoing correspondence may remain separate records.
Maintain the supporting email evidence in a centralized CaseMail record.
The Digital Evidence Archive can organize email-thread data that includes messages, attachments, events, and certificates.
Verification methods vary. Some providers use signed PDFs, proprietary receipt files, or a verification email workflow. The reviewer may need the original receipt file, a PDF-signature check, or another provider-specific validation step.
Provide controlled online access to the certified record.
Private access can be shared with authorized third parties and revoked when required.
When correspondence is certified, the Certificate of Correspondence gives you a clear, human-readable certified record of the communication and connects it to the supporting evidence preserved by CaseMail for later verification, review, and presentation.
Together, Certified Email, the Certificate of Correspondence, and the Digital Evidence Archive create a more complete and verifiable evidentiary record than a standalone email artifact.
EXPLORE THE CERTIFICATE OF CORRESPONDENCE →The Certificate of Correspondence is the certified record. CaseMail’s proprietary Live Certificate technology keeps the current Certificate of Correspondence connected to the evolving conversation as the user recertifies it, while prior certification history remains associated with the record.
The Digital Evidence Archive keeps messages, attachments, certification history, and supporting evidence together in one organized record for later review and verification.
When the correspondence needs certification, the supporting evidence remains connected to the certified record for later review and verification.

Yes. Electronic records can be used as evidence, and CaseMail is designed to preserve the communication, attachments, supporting metadata, certification history, and integrity-verification information that can help support authentication and evidentiary review.
UETA, the federal ESIGN Act, and the Federal Rules of Evidence provide legal frameworks for electronic records and electronic evidence. CaseMail adds a structured, verifiable record around the communication so the evidence can be preserved, reviewed, verified, and presented when needed.
As with any evidence, admissibility in a particular matter is ultimately determined by the applicable law, facts, and court.
UETA-style state laws and the federal ESIGN Act generally recognize electronic records and electronic signatures rather than denying them legal effect solely because they are electronic. CaseMail helps preserve the communication and supporting evidence in a structured record designed for later verification, authentication, and evidentiary review.
Keep using Outlook or Gmail as you normally do. Turn on CaseMail when important correspondence needs tracking, certification, or a documented record.
