Hi,

The Bat! needs the public key from the POP3s server. You can obtain it by doing the 
following:
openssl s_client -connect mail.server.com:995 -showcerts

The Certificate will be encased between the following lines:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 
-----END CERTIFICATE----- 

Copy those lines and everything between them, save it to a textfile (name it something 
like server.crt) and then include it in the Trusted Root CA folder in your Address 
Book. You should then be able to connect to the server without any trouble.

Regards,
Ralf vd Enden

Subject: POP3s problem


Hello!

I have an POP3s email account on a server but I don't have a
Certificate to use with the SSL connection. Until now I used Outlook
Express to get the e-mail from that account. Each time I connected to
the server the client asked me if I trust the certificate or not. If I
said "Yes" all was OK.

Because I heard many good things about The Bat!, I decided to test it and try to get 
mail
from the POP3s account. In the logs I see the following lines:

 12.07.2002, 15:01:25: FETCH - receiving mail messages
 12.07.2002, 15:01:27: FETCH - Initiating TLS handshake
 12.07.2002, 15:01:30: FETCH - connection finished - 0 messages received

I don't know if this means something for you but it sure means
something to me because I have 6 emails and The Bat! sais "0 messages received"
without any error message or something. Although I selected to be
prompted for password every time it connects to the account I'm not
asked any password at all. This is why I think that somehow the client
skips the entire authentication phase.

The problem resides on the fact that I do not have an certificate or
there is something wrong with my account configuration ?

My configuration is:
Authentication: regular
Secure to dedicated port (TLS): 995

In Outlook Express the only thing I did was to select the option "This
server requires a secure connection (SSL)" and (almost) all was fine.

How can I resolve this problem with The Bat! ?


Thank you,
Mihai
