for all of you that suggested ssh/ssl for outlook/email secure passwords, i can find all of the sites mentioned, and browsed thru them, yet i can't seem to find a good set of documentation to use for an all windows environments, 2k server for mail, and 2k workstations. any recommendations out here for how to set it all up, I use Imail for mail server, and outlook 2k as clients, Imail support APOP however Outlook doesn't, and no matter what i've tried, that darn password still get's sent in the clear, i just hate that. anyway, any recommendations for a good set of instructions to set up ssh/ssl for my environment would be welcomed...

POP3S, port 995, POP3 over TLS/SSL would also work. More than just a password should be encrypted.

As for FTP, you should install OpenSSH and use SFTP as that encrypts the password. -Matt On Thursday 08 November 2001 20:21, Akbar Ali wrote: > Hi all, > > Is there a way to encrypt passwords for Outlook & FTP?
