 VPOP3 Enterprise 2.6 and later supports SSL/TLS encrypted sessions to VPOP3 itself. So, the email client or web browser will encrypt the data passed to VPOP3 so it cannot be intercepted.

+Set ''Encryption'' to ''SSL'' or ''Auto-Detect''
+  * If you set it to ''SSL'' then VPOP3 will force the connection to use SSL ('https'). If a non-encrypted session is attempted to the webmail port, then VPOP3 will automatically redirect it to a 'https:' connection.
+  * If you set it to ''Auto-Detect'' then VPOP3 will allow either SSL or non-encrypted connections (on the same port)
+Note that you can change the port to 443 to allow simpler connections (as in the screenshot above) - but only as long as there are no other https servers on the same IP address as the VPOP3 webmail service.
+Note that if you use the ''SSL'' setting, the built-in redirection only works from the webmail port. So, if you have the port set to 443, then going to
+''%%http://<server>%%''  will not automatically redirect to ''%%https://<server>%%'', because http uses port 80, and https uses port 443. If you want this redirection (which can be useful) you will need to configure a suitable redirection in another web server (eg IIS). If you have your [[http://www.pscs.co.uk/products/vpop3host/index.php|VPOP3 server hosted with us]], then we will have set that redirection up for you already.
