Tips
- Make sure your email provider supports TLS encryption. If they don't, you may not be able to receive TLS-encrypted emails.
- TLS encryption is enabled by default in most email providers, including Gmail. However, it's always a good idea to double-check your settings to ensure it's enabled.
- If you're having trouble receiving TLS-encrypted emails, try checking your email provider's settings or contacting their support team for assistance.
