Using the Zero Download Reader

If you receive an encrypted email message in your webmail account or in an unsupported email program, you can read it using the Zero Download Reader.

You must register your email address with Zero Download before you can read a private message sent to that address. However, someone using Encryption for Email can send you a private message even if you have not registered yet. Zero Download detects that the email address has not yet been registered and then helps you to register on the web just before you open the private message.

To use the Zero Download Reader to open a private email message sent to a registered email address:

  1. Open the message that you received in your webmail account. The open message displays the Encryption for Email envelope.

  2. Click to download the file attachment. You are prompted to Open or Save the file.

  3. Save and then open, or simply open the file attachment. Your browser opens to the Zero Download website.

  4. Click Open Message.

  5. Select your email address from the drop-down list or type it in the field and click Continue. The Account Verification screen appears.

  6. Verify your account as explained in Verifying Your Account. The decrypted message displays in your browser window.
