I spoke to the JISCmail operators about this a while back. They agreed that this could be misleading and would be addressing this as part of a review process. I will get in touch and ask for an update.

Whilst your discussing these strange happenings with the JISCmail team,
perhaps you could hint to them that having a large button marked
'Shibboleth' alongside a button marked 'Secure Mode' on the JISCmail home
page may not actually assist in clarifying to end-users the different
modes of access (and I suspect, in many institutions, the average user
would not know what their "Shibboleth ID" is meant to be).
