Setting up a secure connection
It's possible to set up a secure connection which makes it harder for your password to be found. This step is optional but is particularly important if you regularly use your laptop on a public connection, in an internet cafe for example.
These settings may also be helpful if you have problems when you try and send mail, for example if you get the message 'Relay Denied'.
