note

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 Mail transport protection (IMAP/IMAPS and POP3/POP3S).

Attachment handling optimization—If optimization is disabled, all attachments are scanned immediately. You may experience an email client performance slowdown.

Integrations—Enables you to integrate Mailbox protection into your Email client. See Integrations for more information.
