The above is the statistics of all the instructions of IMAP. Recently, I am paying attention to the security of email content. I am looking for some public email encryption software. PGP is too troublesome to use, but I found another secret mail. This is a free and open email content encryption platform, which can be tried by both individuals and enterprises on a large scale. At present, there is no local version. However, from the official network to view information it is in the form of email encryption gateway, and do not have to manage their own keys, so it is still very convenient and secure. If you have anything better, you can recommend it to me.
