Password protect an e-mail message before sending?
in [Outlook]
|
From: Sharon Clift on 14 Sep 2006 11:46 One of our users needs to send password protected emails to one of our clients. While it is possible password protect a Word Document it doesn't seem to work in Outlook XP. Before sending the message the user can go in to Tools --> Options --> Security and add a password to the document, however when the email message sent to the recipient a password is not required to view the email. We use a mixture of Outlook XP, Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003 all running off an Exchange 2003 server. Can anyone give me advice on the best way to send secure email to a particular client? Many thanks for any assistance. Sharon

From: Sharon Clift on 15 Sep 2006 05:05 Many thanks for your reply, we had thought of that but were hoping there was another way. Is there an easy way to encrypt the email if password protection isn't an option? -- Many Thanks Sharon "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: > Email messages don't support password-protection.
