Thanks for replying so quickly. It's not the answer I wanted, but at least I now know!
Is there a reason why PlusNet can't implement this extra security? It seems to me that Plus's email would benefit from upgrading (another missing feature is autoreplies)...

I've flagged this up internally and we'll chase it up for you, hopefully there'll be some more information soon.

I don't want to push my luck, but since it's Christmas... any chance of out of office replies for email as well?! I recommend your service and am often asked by business customers how they can set up autoreplies.

Sorry to come back on this again, but I was just wondering if this has been discussed further yet, please?

I'm afraid there's still no more information, it's not moved on and as things stand isn't likely to in the near future. We'll be flagging this thread to the management team later this week though, hopefully something will come of that but I can't make any promises I'm afraid.
It's not off the cards, but likewise as things stand it'll be some time before there's any movement on it. Sorry about that. Of course we will let you know when the situation changes.

How long are Plusnet going to force it's users to transmit their username and password (which gives access to their entire account, not just email) in the clear when accessing email directly?
I'd also assume that, given the increased use of smartphones and tablets, the longer it takes to take the decision to make the systems secure, the greater the number of customers, and range of configurations that become affected. i.e. it'll be better to act sooner rather than later.
