Regarding the recent letter about enhanced email security, am I required to do something or can I just ignore it and still download my email into Outlook? Thanx...
They haven't announced any deadline, but it is suspected that at some time in the future that unless you use SSL you will no longer be able to retrieve emails.
I received the enhanced email security letter on Wednesday, 1/4/2012. I immediately checked the website link provided, changed the ports as directed, and changed the security settings to SSL. All was fine on Thursday, 1/5/2012 and I was able to download my email without problem. This morning (Friday, 1/6/2012), after starting my email program, nothing downloaded. I opened my email account via web interface and there were 32 emails waiting in my inbox. What is happening and why can't I download my email? Also, the instructions on the website mentioned only Outlook for email. Are you now saying that I can use only Outlook? The most hack-prone email interface on the planet? I use Mozilla Thunderbird and I have no desire to change. Please respond ASAP, I do not want my mail piling up on your server. Thank you.
they have some sort of acknowledged problem since yesterday.
Temporary solution go back to port 587 for SMTP and 110 for POP and turn off SSL.
Thanks for the quick response! I am at work now but will make the changes when I get home today.
