Encrypt and Do Not Forward Outlook Features
This shows you how to use the encypt and do not forward features in Nexus 365 (Outlook 365) and the do not forward feature in Outlook 2016.
Please note: The University hasn't yet configured these options to match the Classification and Handling Rules, so what you see here may well change.

Open a new email and click Encrypt.
Click the Change permissions option to see the different options available:
You can use the following two options:
- Do Not Forward - this will work in Outlook and Gmail; other email clients may not be supported.
- Encrypt - to encrypt email sent to people outside the University.
Ignore the other two options as they aren't relevant to the University.
The recipient will either be sent a link to a web page where they can read the email or will be able to read it as normal in their email client. This depends on their email set up. Full details are available in the Microsoft Learn about encrypted messages in Outlook.com guide (see the How do I read an encrypted email message? sections).
