What does BBSM mean in UNCLASSIFIED

BBSM stands for Bulletin Board System Mailbox and it is a type of electronic mail system used to send and receive messages over the internet.

BBSMs allow users to store their messages locally on their computer rather than on an email server. Furthermore, BBSMs are more secure than regular emails as all messages sent through them remain private and can only be accessed with the user's account credentials.

To set up a BBSM you will need to find an online provider that offers BBSM services. Once you have selected a provider you will need to register an account with them and then install the software provided by that provider onto your computer. Once this is done you will be able to access your mailbox and start sending and receiving messages via your new account.

Yes, there is usually a small fee associated with using most types of BBSMs due to the increased security they provide over regular emails. However, in many cases these fees are very low compared to the cost of other forms of electronic communication such as normal email accounts or phone plans.

Although generally regarded as being much more secure than standard emails, there can never be 100% security when using any form of electronic communication so caution should always be taken when entering critical personal information over the internet regardless if it's being transmitted via email or through a password protected BBSM service provider.
