Is connection to SMTP server secure?

I would like to be sure on a point about connection to an SMTP server.

If I am using SSL to connect to an SMTP server, are my password and username encrypted to connect to the SMTP server ?

Thank you for your help

Cheers

They should be. Either your server should require the entire SMTP session to be SSL, or, after the initial connection, your SMTP session will switch to SSL.

I've never known a SMTP server that required SSL, that didn't encrypt the creds.
