Message ID: MC1041456
New Outlook for Windows desktop and Outlook for the web will soon support a two-click view for encrypted emails, which requires user confirmation before allowing access to encrypted emails. As an admin, you can enable the two-click feature for your users.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 483883.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early April 2025 and expect to complete by late April 2025.
General Availability (GCC): We will begin rolling out early May 2025 and expect to complete by late May 2025.
[How this will affect your organization:]
With this two-click feature enabled, users will be required to select View message for every encrypted email, and then the email will render. This feature ensures that users deliberately access
encrypted email content, reducing the risk of accidental exposure, especially in unsecured environments like public spaces or during screen sharing:
Admins can find the TwoClickMailPreviewEnabled setting in the Microsoft Azure directory. This setting is a Boolean type with default = 0, which means the experience is disabled by default. To enable the feature for all users in your tenant, set value = 1.
Alternatively, you can access and set the value for this setting using the Microsoft PowerShell cmdlet -Set-OrganizationConfiguration in the Microsoft Exchange Online PowerShell. Learn more: Exchange Online PowerShell | Microsoft Learn
By default, the two-click setting is off.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
No action is required from admins unless you want to enable this feature.
This rollout will happen automatically by the specified dates with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation if you plan to enable this feature.

The upcoming update to Microsoft Outlook and Outlook for the web, featuring the two-click view for encrypted emails, is set to make a noteworthy impact on both admins and users. This change, rolling out in early April 2025, is designed to enhance security by requiring user confirmation before accessing encrypted emails.
For admins, the ability to enable this feature means they can bolster their organization’s email security protocols. By allowing users to consciously opt-in to view encrypted messages, admins can significantly reduce the risk of accidental data exposure, especially in environments where sensitive information might be inadvertently revealed. However, it does mean that admins will need to be proactive in communicating this change to their users, ensuring everyone understands how to navigate the new process.
On the user side, the two-click feature could initially feel like a minor inconvenience—after all, who enjoys an extra click? But the added layer of security is a worthwhile trade-off. Users will have peace of mind knowing they are intentionally accessing sensitive information, reducing the chances of mishaps during those crucial moments of screen sharing or working in public spaces.
The overall impact of these changes will likely be positive, fostering a more secure email environment. As we all know, security is no laughing matter—unless you consider the irony of needing extra clicks to keep our information safe. So, while there might be a slight adjustment period, the long-term benefits are clear.
