Re: Summary is Wrong
said by ZapperO  :... Actually, you can get encryption technology that would make use of any pop3 or imap email system secure (even 30gigs.com if they offer pop3 access). The catch is that you need to trade security certificates with every person you email. Furthermore, you need to use a desktop based email program (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) to handle the encryption/decryption of the messages. ... That's not the only problem. If this is your primary/only account, how do you get your bank, web host, cc company, paypal, etc to send you encrypted mail? You can't and are therefore left completely exposed where it counts the most. |
