Dear emmapeel

Thank you for your answer and support. 
But, what about my second question - see the bottom of the OP:

______________________  quote
Vidalia says:

"One of your applications (probably an email client) appears to be making a
potentially unencrypted and unsafe connection to port 110. Use encrypted
protocols, such as SSL".
 
Why does the SSL handshake fail, in the first try above? 
Does this mean that the communication with "TheCompany.com" server is not
encrypted?

Many thanks in advance
