Email (Massbay)

Overview
An encrypted message is delivered to a recipient’s inbox just like any other email message, but it contains an encrypted HTML file attachment (which is the actual email)

After opening the attachment, the recipient can sign in or use a one-time passcode to view the message on the Office 365 Message Encryption portal. The email includes instructions for viewing the encrypted message.
These instructions work using either your office’s MassBay Outlook account or your MassBay Web Outlook account.

The graphics below are from Web Outlook within the Microsoft Edge browser:

1. Log into your MassBay email account
2. Note: there are two ways of recognizing an encrypted email:
   1. The “word” [encrypt] will be displayed somewhere in the Subject line
   2. The text will note that you received an encrypted email
   3. The encrypted “message” is attached (To begin the process to read the encrypted email)
   4. Click on Download (The encrypted email will be copied to the Download folder)

1. Edge – Check the “box” on the lower left side of the screen

5. Sign in method
