Re: Using "Security" in Outlook Email

That's what I was wondering. What threw me was the selection list via the
"Advanced" tab listing them and letting you pick one. I thought it you
didn't have it would tell you. I understand there are providers of these but
that was really confusing. Then to add to that I go off a Google search and
find stuff that seems to say there were some public ones and it just went
downhill from there :-)

So what you mention is only available if using Thunderbird, correct ?

Thanks !

There is a Security tab in Outlook (Tools/Options/Security) and it has
options to supposedly encrypt an email. I've tried with no luck. I pick an
encryption type and assign passwords for Open and Modify and send it and

it

opens without prompting for any password(s) so what a I missing here ? Do
you actually have to have an encryption cert ? It lets you pick one for a
list so I was assuming it found one ?

I think you need to get a digital certificate to use that ... which
isn't cheap.

Personally, when I need to secure something, I use PGP (via the Enigmail
Thunderbird extension).
