[QUOTE="jaynorris, post: 402002, member: 18140"] I think you mean SSL, Secure Socket Layer. SSH is Secure SHell, much like a secure telnet. You can use SSL to access your email, and yes. That would be a good idea. I wish more people would do it. Fact of the matter is your emails, if standard POP3, password is sent in the clear. Anyone sniffing your network would see this and could use the information to access your account. Is that a big deal to you? For me it is... -Jay [/QUOTE]
