Send Secured eMail: Galaxkey Add-in

MS Outlook as a Galaxkey-enabled client provides an interface for sending secured e-mails.

Click the 'New' button in Outlook to open a new 'Message' window and compose your mail. The 'Message' window, provides following two sending options;

1.Send: This default sending option of Outlook can be used to send a regular, non-secured as well as secured email, based on the Galaxkey configurations.

2.Secure and Send: This option essentially secures the email before sending.

3.Classify: This option lets you tag an email manually based on its content.

Whenever you send a secured mail from Outlook, Galaxkey checks for the registration status of the recipients. Invites are sent to the unregistered recipients.

When you opt to send a secured mail, the ‘Confirmation' dialogue box is displayed.

Note:

The 'Confirmation' dialog will be displayed ONLY IF you have enabled the 'Confirm before sending secured emails' setting under Configuration > Microsoft Windows & Outlook Add-in Configuration.

If the setting is disabled, a secured mail will be sent directly, without associating any of the Galaxkey attributes to the secured email.

In addition to displaying the recipient list and their Galaxkey registration status, the ‘Confirmation’ dialog serves following functions:
