What is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a security protocol that enables you to send personal
information in a more secure manner over the Internet.
When you send a message from an account that you have with an Internet service
provider (ISP) or from an account that you access using a VPN server connection
(typically a work account), Messaging always tries to use an SSL connection. However,
sometimes the e-mail server on the other end doesn't support SSL, so in order to send
the message, it is sent without an SSL connection.
To ensure that your e-mail is always sent using an SSL connection or not at all, select
Require SSL connection when you set up your e-mail account.

Overview of e-mail security
You can help prevent impersonation, tampering, and eavesdropping when sending e-
mail messages from your Outlook E-mail account by using Secure Multipurpose Internet
Mail Extensions (S/MIME) digital signatures and encryption.
A signature helps prevent impersonation and tampering. Impersonation occurs when a
hacker sends e-mail messages and pretends to be someone else. Tampering occurs
when a hacker intercepts your e-mail messages and changes the message without the
recipient's knowledge.
Signing a message applies the sender's certificate
(and public key)to the message. This
proves to the recipient that the message is from the sender and not from an imposter.
Encryption helps prevent eavesdropping, which occurs when a hacker intercepts and
reads your e-mail messages. Using a cryptographic message format such as S/MIME
for encryption helps improve e-mail privacy because it converts plain, readable text of
the message into cipher (scrambled) text. The sender's messaging program uses the
recipient's public key to encrypt (lock) the e-mail message and attachments. Only the
recipient who has the private key
that matches the public key you used to encrypt the
message can decipher (unscramble) the message.
A certificate is a digital means of proving your identity. When you send a digitally
signed message, your are sending your certificate and public key. Certificates can
