POP server lack of encryption

Plusnet webpage shows that mail.plus.net server does not support encryption: - http://www.plus.net/support/email/setup/thunderbird-setup.shtml
Btinternet and gmail POP servers support "SSL/TLS" Connection Security (Encryption?) with "Normal Password" Authentication Method.
Plusnet can only support "None" Connection Security (No encryption?) with "Password, tramsmitted insecurely" Authentication Method.
I know I can read my emails on the website without downloading them but Thunderbird email client allows me to download all my email from BT, Gmail and Plusnet at the click of a single button without having to visit 3 websites and logging in to each one.
I think this lack of encryption is a concern so does anyone know when Plusnet intend to support POP server mail.plus.net encryption?

So you are using encryption when you access the Plusnet web mail system using the above URL in your web browser.
It's just the directly access (via POP,IMAP or SMTP) to the mail server that is problematic.

Talking about security I notice that logging into this forum is not secure? I cannot see any https in the URL?
Thanks again

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
