It is very important to make your email secure and constantly keep the mail security high. In this article we'll tell you how to '''secure the email service'''. The most important thing in mail security is protecting your email login info and messages. This is very important because of the security risks during data transmission. For this purpose it is recommended to use encryption when checking / sending emails. Your mail security can be increased by using secure email server:

* '''Secure IMAP (IMAPs)'''. This secure email server is used for encrypting the incoming communication from the remote mail server. 

* '''Secure POP3 (POP3s)'''. This secure email server is also used for encrypting the incoming communication from the remote mail server.

'''Note''': The difference between IMAPs and POP3s is the same as for the standard IMAP and POP3 protocols. IMAPs leaves the messages on the server. It is faster as it does not download the whole message but only the headers. Furthermore, it is considered to be more reliable. When your local PC crashes, your mails will not be lost if you have used IMAPs. 

On the other hand, POP3s downloads the whole message and stores it locally. That's why it is slower and less reliable. But you are able to read your messages without having to go on-line.

* '''Secure SMTP (SMTPs)''' - It encrypts the outgoing communication to the remote mail server, therefor, making your email secure.

* '''Secure HTTP (secure HTTPs)'''. It is suitable for checking your webmail. Usually it is available at https://yourdomain.com:2096.


Now that you know how to secure emails you can be sure that they are fully protected and won't be used for spamming or spoofing identity theft.
