title: Understanding Secure Email
body: <p>I've got a question about securing emails with SSL.</p>
  
  <p>If I get an SSL certificate to secure my email, that would mean that the connection between my mail client and my mail server will be encrypted. So anyone listening in couldn't view my emails or username and password. But what happens between the mail server and the destination mail server? And between there and the recipient's mail client? If the reciepient isn't using SSL, will the email and it's contents still be secure?</p>
  
  <p>Also, out of interest, is the danger of people "listening in" just from your internal network (people using packet sniffers) or is there a danger of people out in the cloud listening in?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
