[vox-tech] squirrelmail questions

[p at dirac.org]

i don't know the first thing about web mail (or web anything, for that
matter).  sorry for brain dead questions in advance.

i'm investigating web mail for times where i only have access to
microsoft windows, and can't install an ssh client.


1. can squirrelmail live side by side with a "normal" MUA like mutt?  in
   other words, can one use mutt when at home and squirrelmail "on the
   road"?

2. how is squirrelmail secure?  without https, don't passwords get sent
   out via plaintext?

3. looking at security focus, it seems like squirrelmail has a horrible
   security track record.  yet i see very security minded individuals
   using it.  what gives?
