I use Rackspace's email hosting and am having no issues. They use ports 993/imap 995/pop and 465 for sending: imap: <http://www.rackspace.com/apps/support/portal/3921> pop: <http://www.rackspace.com/apps/support/portal/3918> These ports/services do SSL/TLS, not STARTTLS, so there is no "advertisement", it just starts up in SSL/TLS. Setting authentication in K9 to those ports and "normal password" works just fine for me. Your authentication username is your full username@domain. - Richard -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
