Re: Securing POP3

In most cases, encrypting POP3 doesn't make much sense - all the information
has already been transmitted through far less secure channels. If what you
want is to ensure your password isn't intercepted, use APOP. Fetchmail
supports it on the client side and most modern POP servers (such as qpopper)
support it on the server side.
