What does enabling Use TLS in the Mail connector indicate?

Enabling "Use TLS" in the Mail connector signifies that the connection will utilize Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure the communication between the client and the mail server. TLS is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide secure communication over a computer network. When TLS is enabled, the data transmitted is encrypted, which protects it from being intercepted or tampered with by unauthorized parties during transit. This ensures that sensitive information, such as email contents and login credentials, remains confidential and secure.

The other options relate to different functionalities that are not directly associated with the enabling of TLS. For example, while user/password authentication is essential for establishing a user session with the mail server, it does not involve the encryption layer provided by TLS. Unencrypted data transfer is the opposite of what TLS offers, and limiting document sending to attachments does not pertain to the security aspect of the connection. Therefore, option A accurately reflects the purpose of enabling TLS in the Mail connector.
