Port 465 is what is used if you're using ssl/tls. If you're going with starttls it's 587. There are those who prefer starttls/587 (and yes, technically 465 is depreciated), but not all clients support that. Google/gmail's submission settings are ssl/tls port 465 -- see: <https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960?hl=en> (you'll have to make selections, e.g., imap/android (with javascript on) to see the final settings page.) The problem that I see with starttls is that if you don't set your client to require it (and rather take an "if available" option) you don't really know if your connection is encrypted (unless you're running the server). K-9 dropped the "if available" option for starttls with the recent update so anyone who was previously using the K-9 "starttls - if available" setting and is now having problems should probably select "none" as I suspect their server wasn't/isn't really doing starttls. - Richard -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
