Decrypt an Encrypted Email

Any email you receive that has been encrypted by the sender, using Armacrypt, Mirramail or Mirracrypt-for-Outlook, remains encrypted on the webmail server.  This is a great benefit for ensuring your security and privacy.  It is a simple matter to decrypt the message allowing you to view, print or reply as required.

There are two methods to decrypt a message.  If you are using Internet Explorer or Firefox, Armacrypt provides a toolbar with a "Decrypt" button and a "Decrypt Clipboard" button.  Both achieve the same result, but using the "Decrypt Clipboard" button requires you to copy the message to the Windows' Clipboard first.

If you are not using Firefox or Internet Explorer, the "Decrypt Clipboard" button is the only option using the Armacrypt floating toolbar that can be launched from the Windows Start button by clicking 'All Programs' > 'Mirrasoft' > 'Armacrypt' > 'Show Floating Toolbar' or by clicking the Armarcypt icon in the Windows' notification tray.
