SAFEmail.net - A Military Message Handling client extension for Microsoft's Outlook Web Access (OWA).

Boldon James have extended the Microsoft OWA client to support military message handling. The extensions encompass a number of military attributes embedded in the user interface and a security labeller that appears as a separate 'pop-up' dialogue when the user sends the message. These extensions, when applied to the Microsoft OWA client, mean it can be used as part of a military message handling system (MMHS).

The product is a true web client with zero desktop footprint and will work, “out of the box” within a Stanag 4406, ACP120 or ACP123 MMHS environment.

SAFEmail.net is not intended to replace the fully functional Boldon James SAFEmail.mil rich Microsoft Office Outlook client but is a complementary product. In each organisation there will be a percentage of users 'Power Users' who will require the full Office Outlook SAFEmail.mil interface with it's capability to explicitly control the detailed message attributes. Additionally there will be a percentage of 'Occasional” who can utilise the simple roaming access offered by SAFEmail.net.

The server side component of SAFEmail.net includes full support of P772 and ensures that the simplified SAFEmail.net message is a fully compliant P772 message when it leaves the server.
