Secure Email WHEN?
A few years ago I was looking at plusnet email settings and was surprised then that they didn't allow any security. So for example if you logged on with a laptop when away from home, you could get you content and password sniffed snooped and hacked.
Fast forward a few years to the future and 2013, no rocket cars yet
But now everyone has smartphones and of course many people will be setting them up then using open wifi to check their email to avoid data charges, and amazingly, plusnet seem to have made NO effort than I can see to rectify this :'(.
How many of the plusnet customers know that if they set up their phone/tablet, then walk about checking their email on WIFI etc, any tom dick or harry could be viewing all their email contents and also getting their plusnet username and password to play with the PN account? As far as I know, that's the case is it not, please correct me if I'm wrong!
I'm literally shocked
that they still seem to have done nothing about it by now. Surely this is a very valid point in 2013? This isn't the 1990s where 99% of email access was likely on one of plusnets modem connections, it's a time when access over open connections is surely quite common and only going to get more common, but plusnet haven't moved at all with the times 
How about a new advert with the guy sitting in the pub checking his email on the open router his phone found, and the geek (or worse) across the street (or who works in the pub) is sitting reading them too while the brass band plays. Would that quite possible scene be approved by PN marketing people?!
