![How To Remove The Digitally Sign Message Default In Microsoft Outlook 2010 [TUTORIAL]](https://www.eimagine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/outlook.jpg?x23897)
Are you trying to send an email in Microsoft Outlook 2010 and your outgoing email selects Digitally Sign Message by default? If you want to remove this default, then this tutorial is for you.
Digitally Sign Message selected by default
Follow these easy steps to remove the Digitally Sign Message default:
- Open Microsoft Outlook 2010
- Click on the File tab
- Click on the Options tab
- Click on the Trust Center tab
- Click on the Trust Center Settings…button
- Click on the E-mail Security tab
- Under the heading Encrypted e-mail uncheck the checkbox that says Add digital signature to outgoing messages
- Click the OK button
I followed the procedure you described above to turn off signing and every time I respond to a message that is signed, I still get the notification to either change security settings or not send. I conclude that there may be a group or global setting some where on my network that over rides my settings. Driving me nuts. I get a lot of mail from people who sign their emails. I don’t have the need.
Hello John,
This is the fix for sending a new outgoing mail.
Unfortunately, you will still see this happen when replying to someone else’s signed email.
Awesome post! This is exactly what I needed. After a computer migration somehow my Outlook settings got changed for automatically digital sign outgoing messages. I looked three times through Outlook Options and could not find where to disable it until I saw this tutorial. (I was not going into Trust Center Settings…)
