EFTEL webmail login not secure

Hi All,
Bit of an odd one for this forum but I was wondering if anybody else uses Eftel webmail (http://mail.rabbit.com.au/src/login.php) and has noticed that the login page is not secure? I don't know enough about this but I am pretty sure that is should be secure.

The helpdesk is telling me to renew certificates etc but I don't think you get certificates if the page is not 'https' and hence can't "renew" them. Their other webmail page is the same - http://webmail.eftel.com/src/login.php. Any thoughts?
Cheers
Dave

You are correct in saying those links are not landing on pages having any valid certificate. So they're not secure.

I'm surprised to see a non secure login like that from an ISP. Perhaps this is a good time for you to switch over to gmail (or similar).
Is this your ISP?

Thanks for the reply guys. Yes James I have been with Eftel for a long time and only actually noticed this problem when a mate told me about his ISP - iiNET having only a partially encrypted page. Half his luck it would now seem!

My last reply from the helpdesk basically said it was nothing to worry about and encryption is only needed on sites where money is exchanged - uhmmm.. WTF.

Yes might be time to change provider.
