Hi,

I would like to know if there are enhanced pop/imap servers that
provide a way to authentificate login/passwords encrypted so sniffers
can't get it... if this does exist... what clients does support it?
(for windows and unix)

I know that one possibility is to use ssh to forward this connections...
but I can't be sure that users will make use of it...

similar problem is with ftp, I have "solved" using a download only user
that has no shell and is chrooted using wu-ftpd

any comment will be greatly appreciated

	Ulisses
