I'm sure this is a simple question, but I have not been able to find a definitive answer in the archive or KB. Or on Google for that matter. Everyone probably knows this but me, but here goes.
I've always understood that SMTP and POP3 protocols were different from SSL, and that SSL had no relationship to either. But email clients like Outlook Express include an option for using SSL with POP3 and SMTP - in the case of Outlook/Outlook Express, there is an option on the Account Properties to "Logon using Secure Password Authentication". I have always assumed that this only applied to mail hosts that were actually web servers, the way that hotmail appears to work. Do I understand this correctly? That true POP3 and SMTP protocols/servers do not support SSL? And most importantly that it is not supported in iMail?
