Email Encryption for Windows

Outlook XP/2002

To configure Outlook XP/2002 to work with SecExMail, you will need the password given to you by your internet service provider (ISP) or your system administrator. SecExMail operates as a go-between or relay agent between Outlook XP/2002 and your ISP's mail server. It encrypts and decrypts messages to and from people on your Friends list so Outlook XP/2002 must be configured to send and receive mail via SecExMail. Follow the steps detailed below to configure a new email account in Outlook XP/2002 for use with SecExMail.
