Hello Stephen!

 AA>> I'm not sure that pop3/110 sends a password in the clear.

 SW> Yes they are in the clear.

Definitely, I should definately avoid Outlook then. But I also  
use Mailwasher to preview server mail status; MW doesn't seem  
to have any secure port settings at all.   :(

I don't really travel with my XP laptop anymore; it just sits  
at home.  I understand that most of these in-the-clear pw  
sessions are primarily a concern over public wifi.


 AA>> smtp/465/SSL is the login mechanism, no?

 SW> There is also another tab you can check and that's the
 SW> "Outgoing Server" tab, the option there to turn on is "My
 SW> server requires Authorization". Then use "same as
 SW> incoming".

I have about 4 email accounts that I use with the server. A  
couple of them are configured to use the "requires  
Authorization".   But SSL/995/pop3 stil doesn't cooperate.
