ipaq 2210 newbie - Hotmail/Yahoo login query

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi all,

I got a ipaq 2210 last week and an MSI bluetooth PC dongle and set up ICS to
allow my ipaq to connect to the Internet. All is well until I attempt to
login to Hotmail or Yahoo - then I get the following message: -

"You are about to leave an SSL-encrypted connection. It will be possible for
others to view the information you send.

Do you want to continue?

In the future, do not show this warning - Yes / No"

If I say yes, I don't appear to be using a secure connection. I am missing
something? I have tried googling for answers but I'm not getting very far. I
would like to access both services but I'm paranoid about what I might be
exposing to others.

Anybody have any suggestions?

TIA

Glenn
