How to receive E-mail more safety and secure

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) refers to the standard method for encryption on the Internet. This added security provides you with protection against having your password stolen on an insecure connection to incoming mail. But note that POP over SSL does not offer end-to-end privacy of your messages. The encryption only applies between your computer and Nirai mail server. To use SSL (incoming mail), your e-mail software must support this feature.
