Hi Sean, my university requires SSL for POP3 too. It was the last plaintext password protocol in use. I changed the settings in The Bat to SSL and installed the Root CA of the Server Certificate in the addressbook. Everything seamed ok. There where a line in the log which said "Initiating TLS handshake" and another line that said that the handshake was established. But than came a blank error message "Server err: " It seams to me, that The Bat and the POP3 Server don't like each other or I made something wrong with the certificates. Anyway I found a workaround to get my mails from this mailserver. I installed STunnel as a SSL-Proxy on my local computer. Here is what I did:
* get "stunnel-4.00.exe" and "openssl.zip" from http://www.stunnel.org/download/binaries.html * copy an unpack this files in a directory of your choice. (e.g. C:\Program Files\STunnel) Rename "stunnel-4.00.exe" in "stunnel.exe" * create a textfile "stunnel.conf" in this directory with following contents ---------------------------------8<---------------------------------- CApath = . client = yes debug = 5 output = debug.txt [sllpop3] accept = 127.0.0.1:110 connect = pop.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de:995 --------------------------------->8---------------------------------- you have to change "pop.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de" to your POP3-Server * start "stunnel". You should see "sllpop3 bound to 127.0.0.1:110" in one line * Start The Bat! and change your transport-settings for the POP3 Server. You have to change the server to 127.0.0.1, disable SSL and change the Port to 110. * you should now be able to connect to the POP3 Server via your SSL-Proxy. If you running Win NT, 2000 or XP, you can run "stunnel -install" to install STunnel as a service (starts automatically if windows starts) HTH, Daniel PS: in this configuration the server certificate will NOT be verified so it is not as secure as it could be. -- Daniel Jagszent fax: 01212/511092546 Gerwigstr. 46 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 76131 Karlsruhe PGP-Key-ID:0x3FCA9E95 G e r m a n y http://jagszent.de/daniel ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
