Trend Micro™ eMail ID Overview
Trend Micro eMail ID is a browser plug-in that helps you identify legitimate email messages in your inbox. It uses a two-step check to verify the authenticity of messages from hundreds of major companies, and then displays the result in the “from” area so that you'll know what's real. This helps you avoid opening and acting on phishing messages attempting to spoof real companies.
Trend Micro eMail ID helps you avoid fake messages and risks associated with them. It also helps you find legitimate messages quickly and gives you the confidence to open and act on those messages. It complements TrendProtect and other Trend Micro tools and products by operating directly in your email client, helping you have a safer and more productive online experience.
Using Trend Micro eMail ID
TrendMicro eMail ID adds Truemark® icons to your email inbox and open messages to indicate legitimate messages from hundreds of major companies. It operates in a similar fashion across all webmail clients and Outlook Express, so you don’t have to learn a different interface as you check your email in different clients.
In webmail clients, it also adds a button in the frame of the webmail to indicate it is active and scanning messages.
If you move your mouse over a Truemark icon, a certificate appears, showing you the results of the authentication and identity checks, and giving you more detail about the sender of the message.
Clicking the TrendMicro button (or accessing the Trend Micro eMail ID menu item in the Tools/Preferences area for your browser) will give you access to choices about the operation of eMail ID, including the ability to enable it for specific email clients, check for updates, and display the current version.
