How do I know if my email is secure (SSL)?

I have a Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type, firmware 05.60, running the built-in email client. I think this is Nokia Messaging Service. The "Mail" About says it is Mail 2.2.20.
I am able to access my AOL email by simply typing in my username and password. However, is there any way I can find out whether the phone application is connecting with or without SSL?
Usually when I set up an email client I enter different port numbers for secure and insecure IMAP and SMTP. Is there any way I can look at the application settings to see which port numbers it is using? Alternatively, would this information be included anywhere in the header of an email sent from the phone?
I know I could install a 3rd-party email client which would give me full control, but I would prefer to stay with the built-in one if I can.
Any advice welcome, thanks.

How Do I Know If All Email Deleted is Really Deleted?

I use a mid 2012 Mac Pro; run Mavericks, Mail 7.3. How do I know if all email deleted is really deleted from my hard drive?

How deleted do you need it to be?
QuickTimeKirk says it may never have been stored on your Mac. This assumes your mail connection is via IMAP, which keeps the mail on the mail server.
If you were using POP connection for mail, then your mail would be stored in
Finder -> Go -> Go to folder -> ~/Library/Mail
and
Finder -> Go -> Go to folder -> ~/Library/Mail Downloads
Any file deleted, will just have its name in the directory removed, and the storage given back to the file system to reuse at a future date. Until the file system gets around to reusing the storage, it will still have the contents of the email written on it.
If you are using System Preferences -> Security -> FileVault, then the deleted storage will just be encrypted random bits. Otherwise, it may be possible to recovery the email with the right specialized tools and enough time and money, right up until the storage is reused for another file (and even then with a lot more money and time, it may be possible to recover the email; when I say a lot more money, I really a whole bunch of money).
You can use Disk Utility to "Erase Free Space". This cause Disk Utility create a file, then grow that file until all the unused storage, including your deleted email are allocated to this file. The file is overwritten with an erase pattern, and then Disk Utility deletes the file, and now all the unused storage contains a random bunch of erase pattern bits in them.
If you are using an SSD (Solid State Disk), then due to the way SSD storage is managed, it is next to impossible to insure that the data is erased, and because SSD's have a limited number of writes before they start to fail, Disk Utility does no provide the Erase Free Space option, so as not to prematurely shorten the life of the SSD. With an SSD the only way to be sure something cannot be recovered is to keep the disk encrypted using System Preferences -> Security -> FileVault. And you would have had to do that BEFORE the email was written to the SSD, not after.
So, how deleted do you need it to be?

The reset link will only send reset info to your rescue email address, an alternate email address is not used for account security. If you don't know what your rescue email address is (you won't be able to view/change it until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

How do I know if Apple emails are real

II'm constantly getting emails from Apple telling me my account has expired, I need to update my iTunes account, my account will be suspended if I don't update deta, etc. how do I know if this it's real? It's been going on for years and I've always ignored it without anything happening to my account (I can still purchase apps, movies and music) but seeing as i get an email at least once a week I'm really sick of it and want it to stop.
Any ideas? I don't open the emails or click on links which is why I think I've been fine.

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message to Apple.

How do I know if the email from Apple asking for credit card information is genuine

Hi, I just received an email from Apple Worldwide telling me they've suspended my account momentarily until they can certify my details which includes wanting credit card info etc. how do I know it's genuine?

Hello pegglekatie,
This e-mail is not from Apple.
The iTunes Store will never ask you to provide personal information or sensitive account information (such as passwords or credit card numbers) via email.

How do I know if an email I received is legit? its about a purchase made on my user ID that I didn't do

i received an email saying that a purchase was made on my iTunes account, using my apple ID, but I didn't make the purchase. How do I know if this is spam or if my account has been compromised?

In iTunes use Store > View My Account to view your purchase history. If needed enable the menu bar with CTRL+B. The email may indicate an unauthorised purchase or it may in fact be part of an attempt to compromise your account.

I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5s. I have an iphone 4. It's asking me to sign in to confirm my details and change my password. How do I know if this email is genuine?

I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5S. I have an iphone 4. It then asks that I 'click here' to confirm my details and change my password. How do I tell if the email is genuine?

Apple will not ask you to click a link in an email. They may tell you to log in to your account to reset your password. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and log in if you ever want to change any information in your profile (or your password). And do not click the link I just posted; instead enter it into a browser.
You can verify the devices assigned to your account by going to https://icloud.com/find (again, don't click it), where you can see a list of devices registered to your Apple ID.
As a general rule, you should never click a link in an email or forum post without verifying it first. You can see where it goes without clicking it in most email programs and browsers by hovering your mouse pointer over it. On an iPhone you can check where it goes by holding your finger on the link (rather than just tapping it).

"Longer Activation" how will I know besides and email?

I went through the process of setting up a new account in iTunes and transferring my previous number from Sprint. At the very end it said "activating could take up to 6 minutes". After around 6 minutes it said "your activation is going to take longer" and said an email will be sent to me.
Anyone else with this problem?
How long was it and how did you it let you know it was activated other than an email?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I'm in the same boat. Considering the sheer volume of people moving to the iPhone, it's not unusual. My e-mail said my other phone would be disconnecting at 7:54 PM EDT (exactly 24 hours after I'd entered the activation process). I've kept my e-mail open and the iPhone plugged in with iTunes on. My other cell still works, so I'm just being patient.

How do I know if an email to click on a link to download a security upgrade for firefox is legitimate?

I received a pop up, supposedly from firefox, that a stability upgrade for security was available by clicking on a link in the pop up and the pop up said it was strongly advised. Did firefox send this pop up or is it a phishing scam?

You appear to be using an outdated unsupported version of firefox. (From looking at the system details aside). You possibly will be unable to update from Firefox 5 to Firefox 7 using the Help menu.
Download the latest version from an official website such as:
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/download.html
* take CARE '''not''' to use any options saying something along the lines of'' remove personal settings'', because that is likely to remove profiles from all normally installed versions of Firefox, and you will loose data such as settings, passwords and bookmarks.

Status bar missing. How do you know if a site is secure without the status bar?

Found the status bar at bottom of page very useful. Its now missing. How can I tell the downloading progress and more importantly if a page is a secure site? Live in a rural area with slow internet service and both download speed and security is very important to me. Security is VERY important, as do a lot of banking and bill paying on line. Saw someplace in questions and answers that the "Status Bar" was dropped in version 4. It was working for me up through 4.0 Beta 4, but not in Beta 7. If I missed the news please let me know and also how do I tell if on a "secure" page now? Is there an "add on" that will give me the "Status Bar" back?

I have the same issue, i miss the fact that i cant watch my downloads in the status bar. as for the secure lock symbol, i found once i visit a secure site e.g HSBC website. a big green bar appears in the URL. any news post back.
cheers
Will

Welcome to the Apple community jorjh.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

How do you know an email is authentic?

How do you know if an email from Apple is authentic?

Were you expecting an email from Apple?
Is the email asking for private information?
Are there grammer and spelling errors in the email?
Do the email headers show the email is not from Apple?
Is the email offering a get rich scheme?
Is the email asking for money?
Is the email asking for your password?
If you were expecting an email from Apple and it is not asking for private information it may be a legitimate email. Otherwise it may be phishing.
