Well. As long as the Password is not your login password it is not that
critical. If a hacker can't guess your password, he can still sniff all of
your mails. (Thats exactly the thing he would dowith your sniffed password).
I still wonder why netscape has invited ssl-news but no ssl-pop... IMHO this
is completely ..umm.. doubtfull :)
