Steps to Encrypt Email in Outlook
Outlook makes it easy for users to use their encryption feature. The steps to do so are:

- To configure the same one, go to ‘File’ and then ‘Options’.
- Under ‘Options’ one needs to open ‘Trust Center’ and go to ‘Settings’.
- They will find ‘Email Security’ in the left pane.
- One can find ‘Encrypted Email’ here and choose ‘Settings’.
- Under ‘Settings,’ one can choose ‘S/MIME Certificate’.
- When composing an email, you need to choose ‘Encrypt’ under ‘Options’ and then ‘Encrypt with S/MIME’ in the drop-down list.
