Mailbox protection

Integration of ESET Server Security with mailbox increases the level of active protection against malicious code in email messages. If your email client is supported, integration can be enabled in ESET Server Security. When integration is activated, the ESET Server Security toolbar is inserted directly into the email client for more efficient email protection.

Enable Mailbox protection

Lets you disable email client protection without removing integration into your email client. You can disable all plugins at once, or disable selectively the following:

•Scan received emails—Toggles checking of received messages.

•Scan sent emails—Toggles checking of sent messages.

•Scan read emails—Toggles checking of read messages.

•Scan modified emails—Toggles checking of modified messages.

Attachment handling optimization—If optimization is disabled all attachments are scanned immediately. When disabled, it can slow down email client performance.

Email clients that are currently supported include Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail. Email protection works as a plugin for these programs. The main advantage of the plugin is that it is independent of the protocol used. When the email client receives an encrypted message, it is decrypted and sent to the virus scanner. Even if integration is not enabled, email communication is still protected by the email client protection module (POP3, IMAP).

Report suspicious emails

Enable reporting of suspicious emails—If enabled, the Suspicious email button will appear in your mailbox. By clicking this button, you can send an email to a predefined address.

Recipient addresses—Type one or more email addresses separated by a semicolon. A suspicious email will be sent to these addresses.

Integrations—This feature enables you to integrate Mailbox protection into your email client.

Response—This enables you to customize the handling of spam messages.
