Sending Encrypted Email
After installation, PGP Desktop Email Email inserts itself between your email client and your mail server and watches your email traffic.
When incoming messages arrive, PGP Desktop Email Email intercepts them before they get to your inbox and automatically attempts to decrypt and verify them; it uses your private keys to decrypt and the public keys of others to verify. When it is done with your messages, PGP Desktop Email Email delivers them to your inbox.
In most cases, you do not have to do anything special; decrypted incoming messages will appear in your inbox just like any other incoming messages.
When you send outgoing messages, PGP Desktop Email Email intercepts them on the way to your mail server and automatically attempts to encrypt and sign them, based on configured policies.
Again, you do not have to do anything special; just create your messages using your email client and send them—PGP Desktop Email Email handles everything else.
Details of how PGP Desktop Email Email transparently handles your incoming and outgoing messaging is found in the following sections
