Office 365 Message Encryption - Encrypt from Outlook
Hi,
I have configured Message Encryption and it seems to be running smooth :)
My question is - instead of using transport rules, is it possible to change the templates so I can set "Encrypt" from the Outlook ribbon?
- You said you had the latest version of Office 365 Pro Plus - but which deployment channel? It needs to be Current Channel to see this feature as it is new. If you are on any of the deferred channels (Semi Annual Channel for example) you will not see it (yet)

Can you see the protect button? If not, you might have not completed the OME configuration. See my blog post here for configuration instruction.
- Hi,
Im having the Protect button, but from the menu I can choose:
- Confidential
- Highly Confidential
- Do not Forward
I dont see an option to choose "Encrypt".
When applying a transport rule to set encryption, its working as intended. But I really would like the option to Choose "Encrypt" from the protect button.
- If you are running the latest version of Office ProPlus 365 then you have this feature already (or will do soon). It is currently rolling out, so you might have it already. Its been in OWA since about Feb 2018 as well. In OWA, click Protect button and then change the protection from Do Not Forward to Encrypt. In Outlook, new email > Options > Permissions > OrgName > Encrypt-Only
- From OWA I can choose "Encrypt" - actually, its this funtion I'm missing in Outlook!
- As written above. The feature is still rolling out. You need the latest Office 365 Pro Plus release to see this. It does not appear in the MSI release as far as I have been able to tell. The OME general configuration was automatically rolled out to all tenants early Aug.
