Oh :) Most IMAP clients/servers support SSL (including mutt and Mozilla, if I remember correctly). And if you want, you can also tunnel it over ssh (though that is much more complicated if you don't know how). By the way, you should be much more worried about transferring your password unencrypted than transferring the actual emails: where do you think these emails came from? They were moved across the Internet with the unencrypted SMTP protocol :( > Viva La Paranoia! Lately there have been rumors of spammers getting access in important Internet exchanges, sniffing smtp traffic and getting email addresses that would be impossible to get in any other way. Maybe the paranoia is justified ;) But what do I care about that? I use the same email address for over 10 years, and every spammer on the planet already has it! -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Feb 24 2002, 12 Adar 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |I don't eat snails.
