About link protection in Queye Mail

When you click a web link in Queye Mail, you may notice that it opens through an address starting with redirect.cv followed by a code. This is link protection: instead of taking you straight to the destination, the link passes through Queye's redirect service first, which then forwards you to the original address.

Where links are rewritten

• Messages you read: links in messages displayed in Queye Mail open through a redirect.cv code URL.
• Messages you send: web links are replaced with redirect.cv links when the message is sent. Drafts keep the original addresses until you send them, and recipients will see the redirect.cv links in the delivered message.
• Incoming mail: messages delivered to Queye Mail addresses are filtered before they reach your mailbox, so links are also protected when you read your mail in another email app connected over IMAP.

Why Queye Mail does this

Routing clicks through the redirect service means the destination of a link can be checked and handled consistently, rather than your browser contacting an unknown site straight from your inbox. It also makes it harder for senders to build direct click-tracking around your mailbox, and each redirect code simply points to the original address, which stays valid for about a year.

What it does not do

• Link protection does not change where a link ultimately leads; the destination is the address the sender included.
• It does not make every link safe. Treat unexpected messages with the usual care, and check the sender before signing in or paying anywhere a link takes you.
• It does not affect attachments or remote images; see About remote content in Queye Mail for how those are handled.

Always on

Link protection is on by default for every account and cannot currently be turned off from Queye Mail. Messages you send and receive will continue to have their web links routed through redirect.cv.
