3.6.2. PGP encryption settings

The PGP encryption settings define the preset settings that are available when composing e-mail messages. When composing a new e-mail, the default settings can be adjusted before sending the e-mail.

How to change the PGP encryption settings:

  1. Click the System menu icon on the right side of the menu bar. Click the Settings menu item.

  2. Select the entry GuardSecurity in the side bar. Click on Advanced settings.

  3. Change a setting below PGP Encryption Settings.

The following settings are available.

Remember Password Default

Defines the time range default for Guard to remember the password. You can change this default when being asked for your Guard password.

Default to send encrypted when composing e-mail

Defines whether a new E-Mail is encrypted with PGP by default.

Default adding signature to outgoing e-mail messages

Encrypt all incoming email messages

Default to using PGP inline for new e-mail messages
