Email Encryption EAP, O365 plugin installed but not triggering encryption

IMPROVES

I've managed to download and deploy the O365 plugin XML after all.

Now, when I hit the "Encrypt Email" button, the recipient just receives the email in plain.

 

The encryption does seem to trigger however when using the Subject Line Tagging mechanism in stead.

Anyone else got the O365 plugin working?

  • I finally made some headway with it. It finally dawned on me that I needed to be sending my email outbound through Sophos; I only had it configured inbound. 

    Once I set up the outbound connector in O365, I was able to receive encrypted messages when sent from OWA.  I still can't get it to work from the outlook desktop client though.

    One thing I don't like is taht the recipient receives the encrypted message, there is literally a box for 9 different languages with the option to set the secure message password.

    Once I click on the link to set the password, I can see that they are using Echoworx for the encryption. Apparently they didn't bother to create their own, just license someone else's.  I don't see anyway to turn off the additional languages. My bigger worry though is that if the encryption doesn't work, the recipient gets the message unencrypted, leaving a huge security hole.
