Webmail migration to SSL.

This is a long overdue change, but I'm starting to migrate webmail to SSL (secure sockets layer) only. I've tried this in the past, and had problems where randomly, IE would complain that it couldn't find a page it was looking for, yet when you clicked 'Refresh' it found it just fine.

SSL helps to protect the information sent between your web browser and the webmail server so that third parties can't see and intercept your email and passwords.

In testing again over the past few days, it doesn't look like it happens anymore, at least for me.

For the next week both the SSL version and non-SSL version will be available. After that, if there aren't any problems, only the SSL version will remain available.

The SSL version is now the default if you click on the 'Webmail' link in the Quick Links box.

NOTE: You will see a warning when you first connect via SSL, saying that a certificate cannot be verified, just continue.

For more details on what this error means, and how you can stop it from happening, click here.

It's now also possible to change your webmail password (not your website password) here. This password is also used if you SSH to enfusion-group.com for shell access.
