> So windows email client programs have weak or no encryption?

I  wouldn't  put  it  that way; the problem, as any cryptographer will
tell  you, is that any encryption that must be reversible without user
intervention  (as  is the case when an AUTH password is retrieved from
application  storage,  decrypted  to  plain, then reencoded/hashed for
transit  in accordance with point-in-time handshaking with each remote
host) is vulnerable to compromise if the host itself is owned.
