Microsoft Outlook

The Common tab contains the following information:

• The ViPNet network user name
• The email addresses of those users who can receive encrypted messages. The exchange of encrypted messages can only be between ViPNet users. This list of email addresses (also known as the aliases list) is created via ViPNet Manager.

The Security tab for Microsoft Outlook allows you to set the following parameters:
