3.1 How to Use General VS2Go features

Simply speaking VS2Go works just like any other email client. You compose messages, choose recipients and send them off. However VS2Go also has a large range of advanced security features not offered by most other email software. In this section, you will learn how to compose messages, work with your email archives and the file manager.

To compose a new message:

Step 1. Click: to open the New Mail screen

Note: It is recommended that you manually enlarge the Composer window to see all features displayed in the menu bar.

Step 2. Compose your message, enter the recipient and click: when finished.

VaultletMail will automatically encrypt all messages to other VS2Go recipients (those with an @vaultletsoft.com address). For instructions on how to encrypt messages to people who do not have a VaultletSoft account, please read the next section.

To move messages over to the archive:

Your list of folders on the left hand-side of the main Inbox screen are divided into two categories: Vaultletsoft Server and Your hard drive as per Figure 21. All new messages, sent and received, are initially stored on the Vaultletsoft servers. They provide limited space and a limited time for storage. On a regular basis you must transfer your messages to your computer or removable device (to the location you had selected for storing the archives in Section 2 above). Your local account can be as big as the computer or removable drives allows. All your messages will be stored using VS2Go secure encryption.

Step 1. Select the required message/s you wish to archive

Step 2. Select: Message > Archive from the menu bar

Remember that when using the Mobile option of carrying your archives on a removable disk, you will need to have the disk with you at all times to access archived messages. You can however, receive and compose new messages without your removable device.

3.2 How to Use the VaultletFiler

VS2Go offers secure file storage and uses the archive (created on your computer or USB memory stick) for this purpose. You can transfer multiple files to be protected by VS2Go encryption, and access them from your computer or removable device. Bear in mind that files from your computer will be moved and encrypted by VS2Go. You will be able to access them only if you are connected to the Internet and logged into your account (future releases of Vaultletsoft aim to incorporate offline access functions). The VaultletFiler is accessed through the VaultletSuite 2 Go main console.

Step 1. Select VaultletSuite 2 Go > VaultletFiler to open the VaultletFiler screen
