Thunderbird has the choice of 'SSL/TLS' to show the ordinary user it is practically the same while STARTTLS starts with a unencrypted connection to do a handshake and I imagine it is because TLS uses > stronger encryption algorithms (which I just learned) that Dovecot uses it > when given the choice. bruahaha TLS is practically the next SSL version after SSL 3.0 and internally SSL 3.x, in fact it is only a wording issue > NONE > SSL if available > SSL Always > TLS if available > TLS Always > > And I always choose (chose - from now on I'll choose TLS) 'SSL Always', so > shouldn't these connections show 'SSL' > instead of TLS, since I'm basically forcing my phone to SSL? pfffffff SSL if available: use port 993 if available, but you may use 143 unecnrypted SSL Always: use always port 993 TLS if available: use STARTLS on 143 if available, but if not use no encryption TLS Always: use always STARTTLS on 143
