You can also encrypt the email for the recipient using addons in Thuderbird (albeit just the email, not server-client comms). GMail, GoDaddy, and a local account (Socketworks) I have here all use encryption to transact email from server-client and have for years. Maybe you need to look for a new ISP? -Adam McNutt On Jan 7, 2007, at 2:53 PM, Bob wrote: > > My big complaint is that passwords are sent in plain text for most > email and > none of the providers of email servers are doing anything to fix > that.
