hm. Good point. I hadn't even realized it was IMAP+. Pardon my ignorance, but what's the diff?

Not a huge fan of VPNs. Especially for something as light as an SMTP connection. I use to use ssh tunnelling to reach my own server but then the provider stopped allowing shell access(was very surprised they allowed it in the first place!). Ironically I'm using a VPS server as of about a month ago but simply haven't had the time.

I'm intrigued by your SMTP suggestion though...Are you suggesting I run a local SMTP server service on my laptop? Wouldn't that still be subjected to the same scrutiny at the ISP?
