Email encryption with SSL
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a method to encrypt traffic from sender mail server to the recipient mail server during transmission.
This prevents sniffing on your email login credentials, email messages, and attachments sent and received on the internet.
Once the email reached its intended recipient, it will be decrypted for viewing automatically.
