Tzafrir, what pop3/imap clients support secure connection ?
There might be a reason for the Technion's system administrators for not

If you feel so strong about the subject, take a walk to the CC, and talk
to a system administrator, and ask him to explain their decision. I am
sure they will gladly do so.
