I have written the code for the TLS support for POP3, but am struggling to find a 
(free) mail client for Windows that supports STLS. If anybody knows of one please let 
me know, since I cannot test it. 

I think the following from section 7 in rfc 2595 says that STLS is not common, but 
recommended as opposed to running with SSL.

Maybe we should implement SSL for POP and SMTP as well as TLS? It should just be a 
case of creating an extra ServerThread for each protocol listening on separate ports 
and using an SSLServerSocket by default.


Thanks,

Kab
