Original Ranger: easily enhancing Email transmission security

We know that emails are transmitted over the network in plain text by default. That is to say, as long as someone can intercept your network data packets, there will be no confidentiality for your emails. So how can we enhance mail Transmission Security quickly and at a low cost?

1. send and receive emails through webpages

If you are using a QQ mailbox, you can open the httpS: // Mail.qq.com. The difference between https and http logon is that the former is encrypted, while the latter is not. At the same time, you can set other security options in "Settings> account:

650) this. width = 650; "class =" aligncenter "alt =" 121222_1 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/131227/0F21IY6-0.png "width =" 500 "height =" 285 "style =" margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; text-align: center; float: none; clear: both; display: block; max-width: 600px; "/>

• Independent password: (After setting an independent password, you need to enter an independent password for verification when entering the mailbox. It is safer to use QQ mail .)
• Folder area lock: ("folder area" consists of "My Folders", "Other mailboxes", "Notepad", and "mobile phone contacts. Locks are used to set passwords to protect your information .)
• Https secure connection: (After https is set for the entire process, if you enter the mailbox from QQ, You need to log on to QQ again to take effect. Currently, the official Chinese Version QQ2009 and later versions are supported .)

2. send and receive emails through the client

I believe that many of my friends have multiple email addresses and have high requirements on the timeliness of emails. Therefore, it is not convenient to open the WEB, therefore, emails are generally sent and received through OutLook, FoxMail, DreamMail, and other email clients.

You Xia uses the QQ mailbox under DreamMail as an example to describe the configuration method:

650) this. width = 650; "class =" aligncenter "alt =" 121222_2 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/131227/0F21L047-1.png "width =" 500 "height =" 316 "style =" margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; text-align: center; float: none; clear: both; display: block; max-width: 600px; "/>

• Receiving server: pop.qq.com, port 995, select "this server requires secure connection"
• Sending server: smtp.qq.com, port 465, select "this server requires secure connection"

At this point, the client has completed the encryption configuration for sending and receiving emails!
