As others have pointed out, it is likely that the authentication is
using HTTPS. When you log into the webmail interface, watch your
browser to see if it briefly submits something to an "https://...."; URL.
Some browsers, such as Firefox, will also show a subtle change in the
appearance of the browser window to indicate that it has switched to
"secure" mode (the appearance of a padlock icon in one corner, or the
changing of the address bar to an alternate color).

Didn't you see my reply? This site does NOT submit the authentication
using HTTPS. I checked the HTML page's source.
