Worth a look!
I looked at that Ted and SSL2 is not an option just SSL3 (unchecked). Thanks .

I realise it might possibly be security for our own good but it's getting a little much of late. What can the user do about it though, other than find another e-mail provider with all the hassle that means?

That's the trouble isn't it. They draw us in then have us by the short and curlies.

Recently I lost access to my laptop, I had to buy a new one and then try and firstly recover my four gmail accounts, secondly I also had to try and do that with all my other online accounts, there were around 18 in total. The main problem was that for security I had to change all passwords and do that on a new device never before known to any of these organisations, especially to Google. The whole procedure was very frustrating, I don't know to this day how the laptop didn't go out of the window!

Have you checked to see if an update was downloaded the night before all this started?
If it was, back it out?

That's always the problem having to change email addresses and letting people know.
