Well, down here, they have no option but use the provider (C&W
Blackberry server).  Most folks here are so clueless they only know
Windoze and can't spell encryption (because as we all know, M$ only
has "kindergarten cryptography").  The setup program has no options
for imaps or pop3s, and sniffing the traffic told me all.  No attempt
at SSL negotiation.
