Bug description:
Binary package hint: evolution
The account editor offers a »Use Secure Connection« option for sending
as well as receiving mail. However, the order in which the items
appear in the drop-down list does nothing to clarify which one should
be preferred: »No encryption«, »TLS encryption«, »SSL encryption«. I
suggest re-ordering the list by descending level of security provided,
i.e. TLS, SSL, no encryption.
The default value is another matter: Currently, no encryption is
provided unless it is expressly selected, which requires the prior
user knowledge of the server's encryption capabilities. It should be
possible to »check for supported types« as is currently possible with
Authentication Types.
I would be grateful for some opinions on this matter, especially since
I'm not a security expert.
