Outlook uses RPC over HTTPS (not HTTP). The security is the same as you
would get with a secure web page, one who's address begins with HTTPS
and has the lock in the lower-right corner of the browser window. This
level of security, with 128-bit encryption, is considered acceptable for
most Internet uses, including exchanging personal information (assuming
legitimate web sites, of course!) and high-value financial transactions.
Basic authentication (clear-text) is OK in this case because the userID
and password are being sent over an encrypted channel (HTTPS) to the
small business server and Exchange.

How security is accessing our mail over the internet (HTTP) with Outlook. I.
set it up using the articles posting on the newsgroup but I'm a bit concern
with the security. I'm specifically concerned with the fact that one of the
articles had me set the security with basic authentication (sent as text). I
also know that the article also mentioned to set 128-bit encryption....does
this protection "overrides" the basic authentication?
Also, I guess since the server asks me for ID/password/domain should I
safely assume that I'm secure?
Just concerned...any feedback would be appreciated.
