I'm not so sure. I use IMAP yes but I understand from the programmer of CSMail that the standards were never fixed in IMAP hence many stick with POP3 Al
-----Original Message----- Thanks Ted. I am getting that POP/SMTP is not often used in any case, with or without SSL/TLS. Still, it's not entirely dead. All of the email services we use require authentication. Two of them require sending a complete valid email address, and password, served by the server; one just requires a login name and password (that's my internal email server on the LAN, which is restricted to only communicate internally). None of them require SSL and at least two of them won't permit it. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/005401ce8d34$08b3f3f0$1a1bdbd0$@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
