Encrypt Your E-mail

If you are using an e-mail program you need to encrypt your messages by configuring your software for secure connections, also known as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).

WebMail Users
The CU web based e-mail program WebMail, which most students and some Faculty and Staff are using, has SSL built into it, and therefore does not need to be reconfigured for secure connections.
