VIPRE Integrated Email Security integrates with your secure email gateway (SEG) to provide total protection by catching anything that might get through. The first step is to configure an email source within VIPRE Integrated Email Security.
Configure an Email Source
Follow these steps from within the VIPRE IES web console:
- Navigate to Settings > Email Configuration
- On the Email Configuration screen, select Add IMAP or Add M365 at the top
Important
While VIPRE IES does work with IMAP sources, IMAP configuration is intended for testing purposes only and is not recommended for use in VIPRE IES otherwise.
This product works best when integrated with your organization's Microsoft 365 tenent account. Compatibility with other email sources, like Google Workspace, are on the roadmap and coming soon! Watch the release notes space for updates.
Add M365
Before getting started, you will need the administrator login credentials for your organization's Microsoft 365 tenant account.
- Name your Microsoft 365 source
- Select your Integration Mode
- Inline: All mail will be delivered to VIPRE IES via mail flow rules
- Monitoring: All mail will be delivered to VIPRE IES via journaling rules
- Click Continue
You will then be prompted to sign in to your Microsoft 365 tenant account. You will be presented with a list of APIs that VIPRE is requesting permissions to.
Add IMAP (For Testing Purposes Only)
Before getting started, you will need certain information based on the type of preset IMAP source you choose.
