Disable encryption on the Exchange server

For 2007, 2010, and 2013 Exchange servers, Exinda recommends that encryption of the MAPI protocol should be disabled to maximize reduction, as each user will encrypt files with a different key. You must disable encryption on all Microsoft Outlook clients as well as the Exchange server to maximize the benefit. See Turn off MAPI encryption in Microsoft Outlook

Note

Encryption cannot be disabled on Exchange 2003 servers, but it will not enforce a policy requiring encrypted communications between Exchange and Outlook.
