Encryption

Post by Don Wells »

Does anyone have experience with a good, free encryption add-on for Outlook?

T.I.A.

Does Encrypt e-mail messages (for Outlook 2007) or Encrypt messages (for Outlook 2003) help?
Best wishes,
Hans

Some companies have tried to simplify it. Trend Micro bought the U.K. company Private Post, which I think had pretty good reviews. I haven't tried it myself. The software is free for noncommercial use, but your recipients need to install it to read your message, and they might be commercial users so after a 30-day trial, they might have to buy it. http://free.antivirus.com/email-encryption-service/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For the convenience of the recipient, a service might be better, but probably won't be free.

If you are writing to the more technically minded, PGP might be a good choice.
