As you see, you dont get clear answers. That's so because this
issue is ______very_____fishy_____ (or shall I say "batty" ?) in
TheBat.
Theoretically, *if* your pop3 server supports key exchange and
secure authetication, you could manually chose secure connection
to regular port (993 or 995) and authentication APOP, etc.
However, I am not sure this works well.
TB is also said to connect to IMAP servers on a secure scheme but
it doesnt. One of the the guys at RIT labs told me: "next
version" - which I suppose it will be v 2.0 some day when Yoda
becomes part of the Dark Side :o)
Cheers all & HNewYear2003 wishing you all a TBat with *real*
secure stuff :o)
