What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

A new user in Syria could not start using Amazon WorkMail. Its Get started path leads to AWS account sign-up, which returned a Website Temporarily Unavailable error, so no mail organization could be set up. Using the service with an existing AWS account was not tested.

Landing pageWorks

The Amazon WorkMail product page on aws.amazon.com loaded normally from Syria on desktop, with its Get started button and its features and pricing sections available.

Sign-upFails

Pressing Get started with Amazon WorkMail from Syria opened the AWS account sign-up page, which showed a Website Temporarily Unavailable error instead of the registration form, so no account could be created.

Community Updates

A community volunteer wrote to Amazon's EU privacy team asking it to review the country restriction, noting that Syria's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism was rescinded on 24 August 2026 and that the measures still in force target named individuals.

What works instead

Until Amazon WorkMail is fully available in Syria, here's what we recommend. The badge on each shows how well it works.
