poptart

i did call their Help Desk they said they do not allow email client through pop or imap but im able to enable imap or pop in the gmail accounts settings but i got my email account add to my email client but its not allowing my password to go through

I'm a student at a school. I am trying to connect my school email to a Thunderbird client. the school that im going to has a third party hosting their student email. They are using gmail as the student email. But they control the permissions in house. How they have it set up is, when I go to login to my gmail account and type in poptart@email.pppp.edu with no password it takes me to the schools website to login to my gmail account. I can go in to my gmail account settings to enable imap or pop when I try to add my account to Thunderbird it finds the gmail account but it won't take my password because the gmail account does not have a password tied to the account. The gmail account passwords are tied to the schools servers. Is their a way around this you know of so I can add my school email account to my Thunderbird client.

just learning and best practice and keep my personal things safe. hey i have a question? its off topic

i was running Encrypted LVM when i first installed linux mint 14 but im deciding if i want to reinstall to run Encrypted LVM. how secure is encrypted lvm?

This is some what on the same topic do they make a third party full disk encryption software that's like truecrypt for linux. so i can encrypt my whole system hard drive. when i install truecrypt on linux it dose not give me the option for full disk encryption like windows.
