Generally the logon page will be https, but on successful logon the actual email traffic may be in normal http (just check the subsequent browser address window). So it is likely that it will then be monitored.

That sounds good, and thank you very much for all the help.

You’re welcome.

And You find more if you Google Why is there only https at logg in

Thanks for the interesting article on https:, much appreciated. The tech people @ my ISP had really no answer why only the login page is encrypted. Also they don’t make policy…If only you could get all you would want like secure http: for all your online account pages, eh…
