Remote "POP-over-SSL" email access
** In light of recent computer security threats, it has become necessary
to increase the security of your connection to the mail system. As a
result, "regular" POP access to email was turned off effective June
1, 2005. If you use Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, Mac Mail, or
Entourage to read your email and have your program configured to access
your account using POP, your email can be set to a higher level of
security by enabling SSL. SSL will greatly enhance privacy by protecting
your connection to the email server.
