The POP server asks for a special password, of course. My other accounts at Freenet and GMX let me check mail with my respective password but they don't allow me to send mail with my usual Eudora settings but require a ASMTP setup (which, as far as my little understanding goes, has nothing to do with SSL; sorry Brian, but secure socket layer is a browser thing in my small world of telecommunication. Please correct me if I'm wrong.). Hence
SSL-- It's just a encryption protocol, it can be used for any communication. Most people saw it first only for https: URLs, but providers are requiring it for SMTP (sending mail) more and more commonly. The ISP I'm sending from is one.
I saw Bruce's report of the requirements of your univ.- that should help you pick a version to stick with.
