Email client protection
Integration of ESET Endpoint Antivirus with your email client increases the level of active protection against malicious code in email messages. If your email client is supported, integration can be enabled in ESET Endpoint Antivirus. When integrated into your email client, the ESET Endpoint Antivirus toolbar is inserted directly into the email client, for more efficient email protection. Integration settings are located under Advanced setup (F5) > Web and email > Email client protection > Email clients.
Email to scan
Enable email protection by client plugins – When disabled, protection by email client plugins is turned off.
Received email – Checks email messages that are received when enabled.
Sent email – Checks email messages that are sent when enabled.
Read email – Checks email messages that are read when enabled.
|
We recommend that you keep Enable email protection by client plugins enabled. Even if integration is not enabled or functional, email communication is still protected by Protocol filtering (IMAP/IMAPS and POP3/POP3S). |
