A plug-in for Outlook Express is included into WinPT package. To get it working go to http://winpt.sourceforge.net/en/download.php and take the following steps:

 1. Download WinPT Outlook Express Plugin.

 2. Unzip the file to your computer and read the Readme file.

 3. Make sure that you have the GPGOE.dll and GPGOEInit.exe files in the same directory which will be the case if you have simply unpacked all the files to the same directory.

 4. Then simply click on the GPGOEInit.exe to run the application and a pad lock icon should appear in the right hand side of the panel.

 5. Right click on this icon and make sure that "Use default key" is selected.

When you get an encrypted email, the message will be flagged with an icon of a blue padlock.

To read the message, just double-click it like any regular email. By default you will get a message telling you this is an encrypted message.
Click 'Continue' to open the message. If you don’t want to see this helpful message every time you open an encrypted email, you can check a box to turn the feature off.
