We are happy to introduce Norton Safe Email.

Norton Safe Email helps to protect up to five of your email addresses against scam emails and malicious attachments. Working in the cloud, it automatically flags emails as safe or potentially suspicious before you open them.

Connect your email account once, from one place, in as few as four clicks and you have email security, regardless of whether you’re checking at home, on-the-go, on vacation, mobile, or desktop. It works with most major email providers.

Key Features:

• Portability - Email security that goes with you! Norton Safe Email helps to protect your email, wherever you are and whatever device you’re using.
• Scam/Phishing protection - Norton Safe Email proactively flags your emails as safe or potentially suspicious, so you know what’s safe to open and what isn’t before you open it.
• Easy set-up/4-click setup - Norton Safe Email is simple to use. Just connect your email account once, in just a few clicks, and it proactively scans emails before they get to you, so you stay safer wherever, whenever, and however you log in.

Yeah, but I would imagine they’ve worked together to improve it.

@Bot I see it that it should work with posteo (Germany) do you know if it works with fastmail (Australia) ?

@Trident, have you tried it, do you know if worth investigating, my primary IMAP provider is not listed...

The Avast one is very bad and waste of time, it is notoriously inaccurate. I still don’t have access to the Norton one.

I sent a support ticket to one of my email providers that is not on Norton list, curious to see what they say.

UPDATE the reply I got from email support was maybe in the future they'll discuss with Norton but we're pretty secure & more private without Norton...

Any updates about Norton Safe Email? It is unclear (to me) if it would work with my IMAP account. It is not listed with Norton. Wondering if any here at MT is using this. It is not free, it is $19.95 a year, to scan your email in Norton cloud before it gets to your inbox. Seems like a privacy concern...

How does it work with E2E encryption? (eg. Tuta)

I'm using the Avast one unsure if it's even decent (should be the same )

Does it allow google to still put inboxes into spam ?
Or does it replace it ?

Doesn't seem great in my experience but hopefully hey are improving it
Anyway I do use that service actually that's the only service from gen digital that I use

But honestly checkpoint has the best email security but it's available only to enterprises and not zone alarm so I hope checkpoint will add email security to it's consumer products
Would be awesome to have the best API level email security of checkpoint for everyone ( merged from Avanan acquisition)

I tried the Avast version a few months back. What a train wreck. I can only imagine the Norton version is the same
