Sending Secure E-mail

In Windows Mail, you can set security options to send e-mail messages with a digital ID or encryption. A digital ID verifies your identity to your recipients in the same way a picture ID verifies your identify when you write a check. Before you can send a digitally signed e-mail, you need to get a digital ID from an independent certification authority, which you can access from Windows Mail. Encryption prevents others on the Internet from intercepting and reading your e-mail. Before you can send an encrypted e-mail, your Windows Contacts needs to contain a digital ID for each recipient, which allows them to decrypt the message for reading.
