OK, maybe this is somewhat off-topic, but I thought I'd ask here cause
it seems at least semi-appropriate.

I just found out that Earthlink does not provide email servers that
utilize the TLS/SSL POP3 protocol, but rather only plain text POP3. Am
I misjudging the matter, or is this an extremely insecure and
negligient thing to do?
