ok... So can anyone verify that OE will work with SASL based auth mechanisms?
after watching some packet traffic between OE and the courier-ssl server i am unable to locate my password or any mail data in plantext form, depsite the fact that OE doesnt like my certificate. i can tell OE not to givethe warning about the certificate, and all *seems* to be fine. on a side note, i have verified that the SSL POP server is functioning with a much better, IMHO, mail client- Slypheed. in fact, the only reason that i am using OE is that it is one of the only functional email clients that support japanese text almost flawlessly... thanks again for everyone's help. if my observations are indeed correct (someone prove me wrong here ?) and the SSL connection is working despite the OE error, then i might proceed to finalize this server. any further thoughts? thanks, dylan on 03.2.1 0:07 PM, Sam Varshavchik at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > dylan writes: > >> thanks for the initial ideas: >> >> regarding APOP: i am currently running an email server on a mac here at >> home, with the APOP option enabled- when i check my mail on that server with >> OE 5.06, i MUST use the option "Always Use Secure Password".
