Outlook 2007 IMAP set up

What settings do I need to configure Outlook 2007 with my AKO/DKO webmail?

Answer

o digitally sign or encrypt emails you will need to:

• Enable the S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) option on your AKO/DKO webmail.

If you use Firefox then you must download the DoD Configuration add-on. This can be found through the Mozilla homepage by searching for the add-on. Other internet browsers may require the use of add-ons or another method. You may have to consult your local IT administrator for assistance with permissions if you are on a government system.
