ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

If you have not registered for Proofpoint encryption, you will be prompted to
complete the registration process the first time you attempt to access an
encrypted email. When you click the Click Here link in the encrypted email
notification, you will be directed to the Registration page.

Your email address will be prefilled and cannot be changed, enter your First and
Last Name and create a password meeting the following requirements:



 * 10-50 Characters long
 * At least one digit (0-9)
 * At least one symbol character
 * Both Uppercase and Lowercase characters
 * Your username may not appear in the password





The Validation Code will be sent to your email address during this process.
Retrieve the Validation Code from your inbox and enter it in the field for
Validation Code.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



RECEIVING ENCRYPTED EMAIL

You have received a secure, encrypted message from the sender.

Click the Click Here link in the message to launch a browser to authenticate so
that you can decrypt and read the message.



Note: If you see red X icons in the browser, your email client is blocking
images. These images are typically the logo or images of the sender's
organization. You can display the images or ignore them without affecting your
ability to read the message.

 * If you have already registered, or if your account already exits, you will be
   prompted to sign in and provide your password to decrypt the message. Click
   Continue.
 * If you sign in, and the Login screen returns with a field that you can edit
   for your user name, it means Proofpoint Encryption found a record for you,
   but the email address is different - perhaps an email alias. Enter a
   different address to sign in. For example, a record for jsmith@example.com
   exists, but you entered joe@example.com - your alias for jsmith.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD?

Proofpoint Encryption is configured to allow you to reset your password, click
the Forgot Password link. An Email from Encryptionnotification@unum.com with the
Subject "ProofPoint Encryption Password Reset" is delivered to your inbox.

Click the link inside the email and change your password.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



REPLYING

To Reply to an encrypted message, click the Reply or Reply All button, craft
your response and click send. Please note that you do not have the ability to
Forward an encrypted email you received with this service.

When you reply to a message, your reply will be sent securely.


SEND ME A COPY

Proofpoint Encryption does not automatically place a copy of a secure message in
your Sent folder. Click Send me a copy when you forward or reply to a secure
message so that a copy will be sent to your address for your records.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



ADDING AN ATTACHMENT TO ENCRYPTED EMAIL

If you want to add an attachment to a message, click the Attach a file link.
Navigate to the file you want to attach and then click the Add link. The name of
the attached file displays in the dialog box. Click Upload when you are done
adding attachments.

To delete an attachment from a message, click the X link to the right of the
attachment.

Note: The (combined) attachments cannot exceed 15 MB in size.

Other Issues

Error with Large HTML Secure Messages.

If your HTML message contains more than 500 KB of content, you may encounter a
"Large Message Warning" error message. This limitation applies to Firefox 3.X or
Internet Explorer browsers when you reply to the message or forward it. This
limitation does not apply to plain text.

Intermittent Problem with Replying to a Secure Messages

If Proofpoint Encryption hangs when you try to compose a message and click the
Reply or Reply All buttons, click Cancel and try again. If the original text of
the secure message does not display in the browser, refresh the browser or close
the browser and open it again. The behavior is infrequent, intermittent, and
typically works the second time around.
