   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.
