Authenticated SMTP is a security protocol which uses your login information to verify who you are when you send e-mail. This helps us protect our mail server from being abused by spammers and computer viruses, allowing the server to do its work quickly and efficiently. In addition, since the mail server knows who you are, you can send e-mail though it from any dialup or other connection, anywhere. Even the coffee shop.
SSL is an OPTIONAL security protocol which uses encryption to protect your login and other sensitive information between your computer and our servers. While we recommend using SSL to encrypt your connection to the mail server, it is not required. Enabling SSL may cause unnecessary problems authenticating to our servers. If you experience problems authenticating, disable SSL encryption and please notify support about your problem. Be sure to include what e-mail program and version you're using so that we know which programs are not working with our servers.
