Encrypt

Top  Previous  Next

Ensure your privacy with encrypted e-mail; only those people to whose public certificate the message is encrypted to are able to read it.

 

Beware: Some governments may restrict encryption!

Beware: Although the algorithms used by S/MIME are secure now, there is the possibility that, in the future, S/MIME encryption may become compromised!

 

 

Manually encrypting messages

 

 

1. Open a new message
2. Fill in the necessary header information
3. Go to Privacy->Enable S/MIME (if not already enabled)
4. Then choose Privacy->Encrypt when Completed

 

 

Automatically encrypting messages

 

1. Go to Account->Properties->Options
2. At the bottom (Message Editor Settings) check Enable S/MIME and Encrypt when Completed

 

You can also choose automatic signing.

 

For other methods, take a look at the Templates and Macros chapters.

 

To encrypt messages you need to have previously imported the recipient's certificate.

Note: Remember to encrypt messages using your own default certificate too, or you will be unable to read the message later.
