Security Related Questions

[nars]

Hi there,

 

I'm currently investigating different hosting options and have had a number of chats with some great folks at TCH - they have all ben EXTREMELY helpful. You guys rock

 

Anyway I have questions about security and it was suggested that I post here.

 

I'm a fairly technical user and am quite security conscious. I like the fact that you have shared SSL access for most users (this includes HTTPS access for email) so that no plain text passwords go back and forth.

 

However when it comes to email, it seems like you folks don't have Secure Email download capabilities - either SSL enabled POP or SSL enabled SMTP. My main concern is NOT that my mail needs to be unreadable but that I DON'T want my passwords going out en clair.

 

What I'm looking for is the ability to download mails securely either via Secure POP/IMAP or via an SSH enabled Tunnel.

 

Any ideas if this can be made available? It seems like a very good thing to support so that there won't be any sniffed passwords.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Nars.

 

P.S: Any other users who have run into similar troubles? Work arounds? Happy?
