The ability to read your mail is worth roughly as much as the password, so you don't lose a great deal over forwarding in that regard. One-time login links, password reset confirmations, etc. can all be used without the POP3 credentials, assuming you can read the messages. Hell, with most registrars, read-only access to your mailbox is all I need to transfer your domain name. Besides, is the alternative to type the password into Google Chrome? =) (I'm not disagreeing, just pointing out how fucked we all are anyway.) _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
