Receiving Secure Email

How do I read a secure message?

To read a secure message:

  1. Click or tap the message_zdm.html attachment to open it in a browser.
  2. On the page that displays, click or tap Click to Read Message.
  3. Perform one of the following:
    • If you have an account, verify or enter your email address and password, then click or tap Sign In.
    • If you do not have an account, you can enter your information to create one.

After you are logged in, the secure message displays in your browser.

How do I access attachments sent to me?

To open an attachment, tap the attachment or click View or Download next to the attachment name. If the application associated with the attachment is known, the attachment automatically displays in the associated application. If the application is not known, the attachment opens in a new browser window.

What does it mean if the signature is marked valid with a tick icon?

To ensure the authenticity of the sender and data integrity of the message, every secure message is signed by the sender of the message. The tick icon means that the signature of the sender associated with the secure message is valid and the message can be trusted.

What does it mean if the signature is marked invalid with a cross icon?

The cross icon means that the signature associated with the sender of the message is not valid and the message may have been forged. We recommend that you contact either the sender of the message or technical support.

Sending Secure Email

How do I add or remove an attachment to the secure email?

How do I receive a copy of the secure message that I composed?

You might be required by the company with which you are communicating securely to receive a copy of any secure messages you send. Or you might be permitted to choose whether or not to receive a copy of the secure messages that you send. If you are permitted to choose, click or tap Copy Me to receive a copy. When you send the secure message, a copy of the message is also sent to your email account. The Copy Me check box is only available if the administrator of the company with which you are communicating securely has enabled it. If you do not see this check box, you cannot choose whether to receive a copy.

Using Message Receipts

How do I know that the recipients were able to decrypt the secure message?

You can request that a receipt message is sent to your email address when each recipient decrypts a secure message you send. To receive message receipts, click or tap Request Receipt. If you do not wish to receive a receipt email when the message is decrypted, click to clear the Remove Receipt check box. The Request Receipt check box is only available if the administrator of the company with which you are communicating securely has enabled it. If you do not see this check box, you cannot request a receipt.
