The secure checkbox uses a protocol called SSL to establish an encrypted connection to the SMTP server. This is the same protocol used to protect private connections on Web sites such as Amazon and eBay. The user name and password proves to the server that you are really allowed to use the server. This is a spam deterrent because it prevents a spammer from sending 2.43 gazillion emails after hijacking your wireless connection. It may also allow us to use the Insight server from outside the Insight network.
