Accessing Mail Securely

Some users desire extra security when accessing the Birdhouse POP/IMAP server, and want to know that their mail passwords are encrypted in transmission.

While most users access mail via mail.yourdomain.com, users wanting a secure connection can instead set their POP/IMAP/SMTP servers to:

gong.birdhouse.org

The GeoTrust SSL certificate installed at this address is valid and secure. Webmail accessed via yourdomain.com/webmail is secured by the same certificate.
