New Outlook and OWA Control for Viewing Protected Email

Two-click confirmation for Outlook to read protected email

The new TwoClickMailPreviewEnabled setting in the Exchange organization configuration controls if OWA and the new Outlook for Windows use two-click confirmation to open protected email. The new feature could be useful for people who commonly open confidential and protected email in situations where someone else could see what they’re reading. In other situations, it will irritate people.

Keeping Confidential Outlook Email Private

Delegates often process Outlook email for others. It’s a feature that works well. That is, until protected email arrives. Delegates shouldn’t be able to read protected email in other peoples’ mailboxes. But some versions of Outlook allow this to happen. If you want to be sure that delegates can’t access protected email, maybe you should consider using a dual-mailbox approach.
