Interesting. I use Fastmail (fastmail.com, was fastmail.fm before last month) and they not only insist on SSL connection for IMAP but refuse to use StartTLS, and now I understand why. I didn't before. Too bad we're learning everything the hard way!

It pisses me off - you can no longer trust your machine, can't trust your connection, can't trust your ISP, and can definitely not trust your government. Now what? I'm off to buy a typewriter and kickstart a FIDOnet replacement via a RaspbPi node I can run from an underground bunker. We're going from bad to worse here.
