Secured Vs. Unsecured Email
Unsecured Email is the most commonly used mail setting. We do not recommend using unsecured email as your data will be transmitted without encryption. SSL encrypted email is highly recommended as this will ensure your sensitive data is transmitted to its destination securely.
In this tutorial, you will be given the instructions on how to change the settings on your email client to send emails securely.
