Michal,
Regarding your message dated: 10 June 2001...
MK> Yes there is. A bit uncomfortable but possible. You have to grab programm
MK> called stunnel (it's a tcpwrapper service) from http://www.stunnel.org (as
MK> you've noticed) and lunch it as below:
MK> stunnel-3.14.exe -c -d 993 -r xxx.yyy.xxx.yyy:993
MK> where xxx.yyy.xxx.yyy is your IMAP server IP number.
Aaahhh-haaaa! I had already had a peek at 'stunnel' but had drawn a
blank on how to get it to work which was why I suggested it may not be
the right tool. The online docs. seem to imply I could use "IMAP4S"
or "IMAPS" for the port number bit. However, that does not work and
being a dunce I did not think I could substitute a *real* number in
its place!
MK> Then, change your IMAP port in TB! to "993" and your imap server name to
MK> "localhost".
Yes! I am now downloading my mail via IMAP over SSL from TB! Great!
MK> You have to lunch stunnel before downloading mail via secure imap protocol.
I ran this from a command prompt and this command runs in the
foreground, spitting out logging information of the form...
LOG5[944:1752]: postbox.ee.ed.ac.uk.993 connected from 127.0.0.1:2916
LOG5[944:1752]: Connection closed: 478 bytes sent to SSL, 7058 bytes sent to socket
My next task is to think of a way to run this as a service (ideally)
with the log-info that goes to the command window (STDOUT is the
correct terminology I think) being redirected to a file. I remember
in NT4 days there was a tool called "SRVANY" ('Service Any' perhaps)
or similar so I'll start by looking there. If anyone else has a
better idea (for Win2K) I'd be happy to hear.
For now though, a big "Thank You" to Michal. Even if I don't progress
from this position, I can now continue to receive my mail after June
25th and therefore continue to work so many many thanks.
Best Wishes,
Mark.
