And where is the point I need SSH support in TB!? The question was for SSH support within TB! so my problem was: how should TB! itself tunnel the connection itself establishes ... that's _really much_ overhead to implement for this small amount of usage (how many people do you know being able to POP their mailbox this way [in % of total known e-mailing people]?). OTOH: If he's already using an external SSH tool he could setup this and point his TB! to the local port as you suggested, but that way TB! would not need any SSH support. You see my problem with understanding the question? LEM> communication is encrypted between you and sshhost, but not between LEM> sshhost and pophost (if they are different). And there my next problem is: a small ISP would have POP & Shell (e.g. for WebSpace) maybe located on one machine so this is a secure way. A big one will have at least and minimum two machines for this two very different things (just for security reasons). So my security introduced by a SSH secured line shrinks. With this conditions as background I'd prefer the (planned to come) SSL support within TB! over SSH as chances are higher to meet a SSL supporting POP3/IMAP toaster :) -- Best Regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (The Bat! v1.54/10e on Windows NT 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2) He who knows, does not speak.
