SSL is the norm if you want any security but it does ultimately depend on
the pop2 server and what it supports.
Yeah, I'm beginning to get that impression.
The idea that anybody would care about "security" when using free
data-mined email services amuses me. And IMO the belief that "hackers" are
everywhere, intercepting unencrypted emails as they are transmitted and
using them for nefarious purposes, is false. There are a lot easier ways to
steal useful data. (Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine.)
See my repy to Ted also.
Thanks, Dave.
