Hi All,

I always believed that in the olden days (10-20 years ago). email travelling across the internet
Was unencrypted and insecure.

Recently a couple of people have suggested to me that these days its encrypted and always was.

Is it?

Sometimes. Increasingly so these days.


Was it?


Rarely. Logins weren't encrypted, mail transport wasn't encrypted either.

TIA

Chris
