Secure Emailing

[franharris89]

I am looking for an email system that works like Tigertext does for texting.

Tigertext is an app that let's you use a secure network, to send text messages which deleted themselves after a certain period of time.

Doctors use this to be able to do HIPAA complaint text messaging. We have it at our hospital, which I helped deploy.

So, I am looking for an email system that I can use with PC and BYOD where the emails are on a secure network and will delete themselves after a certain amount of time.

Anyone know of such software?

You can easily secure your E-mail by the following ways-
-Sometimes you want additional protection for your e-mail communication to keep it from unwanted eyes.encrypting an e-mail message in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 protects the privacy of the message by converting it from(readable) plain-text into (scrambled) cipher-text.
-You should verify two things,first the person who sent the e-mail is indeed the person to whom the mail is attributed,and second the data in the e-mail hasn't been altered along the way.
-Web based e-mail accounts are regularly targeted for attacks so be careful for them.
Try to follow these suggestions and see the effects.Regards to you.

Gmail is probably the most secure email out there.

Hey, thanks for all the reply's.

I didn't know about hushmail.com, but it doesn't take care of the other person you send the text to.

The other solutions some of you mentioned (like gmail) are secure from a login stand point, but are not HIPAA complaint since the email stays on the BYOD, and is hackable.

I did find this recent article on the BYOD issue and it talks about Tigertext and the feature in which network admin can delete messages from the lost of stolen phones, which I thought was an interesting feature which I would like to have in an email app.

I also like the discussion in this article about looking at a single BYOD solution, or piecing one together by using several solution, which I think is going to be a big challenge for IT departments in the future.
