Setting Preferences

You can set Message, Password and Expiration preferences to make ZixMail more convenient for you to use.

1. While on the tab, select Options > Preferences. The Preferences screen displays.

Messages

• Select the Clear Compose View after Successful Sending check box to remove a sent message from the Compose page after you send it. Otherwise, the message remains visible.
• Select Automatically Add Addresses to Address Book to have a ZixMail sender's email address automatically added to your Address Book when you open the message. You will be prompted to provide a Name for the email address. You can also add the contact manually.

Passwords

• Select Remember Password(s) and ZixMail remembers your Signature Phrase (Password) when sending and reading multiple ZixMail messages. When you clear the check box, you must enter your password for each message.
  Warning: Secure your desktop when using this feature. Anyone using your PC at this time can open and send signed ZixMail messages on your behalf.
• Select Expire Remembered Passwords to set the amount of time ZixMail remembers your Signature Phrase, and then type the number of minutes until expiration, from 1-999 minutes. When you clear the check box, there is no set time for remembering your Signature Phrase.
• Immediately Delete all Remembered Passwords clears all remembered Passwords for all of your ZixSignatures when you click (Closing ZixMail also performs this function.)

Expiration Warning

• The Reminder for Expiration Notice allows you to choose between 6 months and 1 month to begin viewing the Key Regeneration Assistant. The Key Regeneration Assistant helps you to renew your existing encryption key before it is due to expire.

Note: When opening a Certified ZixMail message, you must enter your Password, even if your Preferences are set to remember your Password.
