  • How does the registration work?

    Please refer to the ‘Getting Started’ section. All Novartis associates need to register for Secure Mail. It has to be repeated once you have received a new workstation (or got it restaged) or if you have changed your e-mail address for any reason.

  • Will Secure Mail store any e-mails which I have sent securely?

    The Secure Mail system will not store any e-mails. E-mails will be delivered directly to the recipient’s mailbox and will be stored as well in the sender’s ‘Sent Items’ folder.

  • Can I still read my old messages which have been sent through e-Seal?

    Old archived e-seal encrypted messages can still be decrypted. Please refer to the e-Seal system for further information.

  • Technical limitations

    The maximum message size is limited to 12 MB for encrypted e-mails.

  • Why are my emails being sent encrypted?

    Emails with the sensitivity level "Confidential" sent to external recipients are encrypted automatically. Change the email sensitivity level in the Message Options dialog box, under Message Settings, in the Sensitivity list, select Normal, Personal or Private, in order to not send it encrypted.
