Messages

As each message a user sends or receives passes through your GoodCrypto private server, a tag is added to the bottom of the message to let the user know whether the message arrived privately. Of course, tags can be faked so users can verify whether your GoodCrypto server added the tag or not by using your GoodCrypto private website.

 

Verify a Message Arrived Privately

It would be easy for someone else to fake a message so it appears that the message arrived privately when it didn't. Only the recipient of the message can verify that it was received privately.

If your administrator entered the URL for your GoodCrypto private server in the GoodCrypto private server options, then a URL is included at the bottom of the message which lets you confirm the message was received privately by your GoodCrypto private server. You must sign in with the email address of the recipient of the message to verify the status.

If you only see the unique validation code, then connect to your Goodcrypto Server website, sign in with the credentials for the user that received the message, click the Mail menu and then the Verify button next to Private messages, and enter the validation code.

If you do not know the validation code, then click the Received button next to Private messages. You'll see a list of all messages that you received securely. The list shows the sender's email address, date, message id, and validation code.

 

View List of Messages Sent Privately

You can easily review which messages you sent privately by:

1. Connect to your Goodcrypto Server website
2. Sign in with the credentials for the user that sent the message
3. Click the Mail menu
4. Click the Sent
5. Scan for the recipient's email address, date, and message-id from the header of the message

If you have javascript enabled, then you can click the headers (e.g., To, Date) to change the sort order of the list.
