  1. Enter and confirm your Mirramail password.
The password you choose here is IMPORTANT.  This password is used to secure your local message store and without it you will not be able to access your messages or send/receive email (no one else can either).  The password you choose is not stored ANYWHERE and cannot be recovered by the support staff at Mirramail.  Only a hashed value is stored to validate your password, but the hashed result itself is useless for decrypting your message store and gaining access to your messages.  For added security, the message store itself is not encrypted but every part of each message (the From, To, Subject, Body & Attachments) is encrypted separately using a key as unique as the password you choose.  You can change your password at a later time but DON'T FORGET YOUR PASSWORD - IT CANNOT BE RECOVERED.  This is a good thing for your security and privacy, which is why you are using Mirramail.
