If you run a server that will be accessed from Windows, you are "doing" |
| 11 |
Windows and have to fix the problem. Otherwise, no matter how secure the |
| 12 |
communication between SquirrelMail and Dovecot, your users' passwords will |
| 13 |
be transmitted over the net in plain text. |

I've just tried to connect to SquirrelMail over HTTPS from a default |
| 16 |
XP+SP2 installation and it worked fine. Unless all your users have |
| 17 |
identically misconfigured/broken computers, the fault is likely to be in |
| 18 |
your Apache or SquirrelMail configuration. |
