Jon,
I think you didn't understand what I wrote.
Let me make a drawing:
Client Server
--- imap ---> imapd with STLS (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:143)---> mail
--- pop3 ---> pop3d with STLS (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:110) ---> mail
--- imaps ---> imapd-ssl (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:993) ---> mail
--- pop3s ---> pop3d-ssl (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:995) ---> mail
--- https ---> apache with mod_ssl (webmail) (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443)
---> imap ---> imapd without STLS
(127.0.0.1:143)---> mail
Every connection from the outside clients must be secure, but there is
no need for this requirement for local connections from webmail client
to localhost. I'm *forcing* imapd to accept only secure connections.
If webmail is to use imap i have two alternatives: use a secure
connection of existing imap server (more unecessary overhead), or i
can lauch another imap server without security on localhost to serve
only webmail connections.
Thanks
Miguel Cabe�a

Ah, but *can* they be encrypted. If so, just do it that way and be
done
with it. Why make life more complicated?
