How to encrypt emails in Gmail<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nGmail does not support encryption natively but we can get the feature through a third-party extension on Chrome, Firefox or Safari browser. There are a few Firefox & Chrome extensions that bring encryption to Gmail but in our testing, we found these two to be the best Mailvelope and SecureMail.<\/p>\n
Mailvelope is the more advanced of the two, as it brings end to end encryption and works with a number of email providers including Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail and GMX. SecureMail on the other hand provides basic encryption features and only supports Gmail. Using Mailvelope & SecureMail is simple, once we install one of the extensions and set up your security key, it integrates with your email client and we can send encrypted emails with ease. These extensions work as they are supposed to and they indeed make your mails more secure.<\/p>\n
Note:<\/strong> The recipient of encrypted email through Mailvelope or SecureMail needs to have the Mailvelope or SecureMail web extension installed to view your email.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/1-50.png\")
