This is obviously the "to:" field where the recipient's email address is entered.

This is obviously the "from:" field where the sender, (your email address), is entered.

This is the subject field and the message field.  The subject is the title of the email and the message is obviously your message.  Your message may be as long as four lines of text before encoding, or as many as 1024 characters of standard text without encoding.  We'll discuss this issue further in the tutorial and special notes subsections.

This is the field where you enter your mail server information.  Here you would enter your SMTP mail server IP address or name.

This is the message encoding part of the Secure Mail interface.  It is in this area of the interface where you generate, load or save encryption keys, as well as encode/decode messages.

• Begin by typing in the recipient's address in the field.
• Next, type in your address in the field. In the first part your name, and the second part your domain. For example; "Joe001" in the first part and "aol.com" in the second part.
• Now type in your mail server information in the field.
• At this point, fill in the subject with something such as; "test".
• You may now type out a brief message, no more than 4 lines.  The encrypted message may be no more than 4 lines.  Non-encrypted messages may be up to 1024 characters in length.  The reason for this is because many more characters are generated when a message is encrypted.  Remember, 4 lines of message text is the maximum.
• Now load an encryption key, or generate a new one.
• Once you have a key, press the button and watch your message become scrambled.
• Now that your message is encoded and all the appropriate information has been placed in the proper fields, you may press the button.
• If everything went okay, your status should read "MSG_SENT".

Decrypting a message is very simple.  Follow the steps below.

• Open your encrypted email.
• Highlight and copy the selection between the marked areas.  The email message will indicate where to copy from.
• Now paste the copied information into the message field of Secure Mail.
• Next, load or type in the key that was used to encode the message.
• With everything ready, you may press the button to decode the message.

Please read on below in the Special Notes subsection.

• Secure Mail is designed to work with those that are registered Encryptex Pro v2.0 owners.  Secure Mail will not work with other encryption email software.
• While Secure Mail is a handy utility for sending very brief messages, it is in no case a replacement for your current email software.  Secure Mail is simply a short-cut tool for sending a quick line or so, of text.  If you need to send lengthy messages securely, you should type out a text message, save it as a file, then use Blowfish File Security to encrypt the file, then send the encrypted file as an attachment.
• Secure will send brief, non-encrypted messages up to 1024 characters in length with no trouble.  So, if you're already connected to the internet and are running Secure Mail, you may find it faster to send your message through Secure Mail without encrypting your message.
• Secure Mail is also handy for encoding text documents using the Blowfish algorithm and seeing the results on screen.  While the text editor encryption is weak, the Secure Mail text encryption is among the strongest encryption available.
