There are two scenarios however: 1. You e-mail through our SMTP servers using an identity that's not hosted by us, in which case some remote servers might consider your e-mail Spam 2. You e-mail through your own SMTP servers using an identity that's hosted by your servers. This shouldn't get your labeled as Spam. We support both methods with the Enhanced e-mail. |

In the case of third-party SMTP servers we are forced to store it in the clear however. It's still protected in its own secure database. |

Still, reversible encryption would thwart a lot of potential attackers, so it has some value. Since data at rest (on disk) is now protected with a password that isn't stored in plain text in the first place, an attacker who wants to see plain-text credentials faces the much more difficult task of capturing them just as they are being decrypted (in RAM). Security isn't all or nothing. Just because you can't protect against every attack doesn't mean you don't need to protect against some attacks. But again, this is just something I'd put at the bottom of a very long wishlist. I would not hold it against any e-mail service provider if they didn't encrypt login credentials to third-party SMTP servers. Polarismail is a very competent company and I trust that they can keep their servers out of harm's way. |

Pardon my ignorance, but if I use a CardDAV client on my desktop and ActiveSync on my Android phone, will PolarisMail keep everything in sync?

Out of curiosity, do many people prefer LDAP over CardDAV ? We have no support for LDAP at the moment but might be considering if there is enough requests for it... |
