If you run "netstat -p TCP -an" from a Command Prompt window, do you see something like:
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State TCP 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING Under "Local Address", you want to be sure of two things. First, that port 25 and 110 (the numbers after the colon) are there. Second, take careful note of what the IP address is (the numbers before the colon). If you have four zeros separated by periods, as above, then the service is bound to "all addresses". This means that you can use any IP address that is assigned to the machine. From your previous post, lets assume it is 212.243.37.26. From the server or any other machine that can ping the server, try this in a Command Prompt window: "telnet 212.243.37.26 110" and you should see something like this come back to you on the screen: +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [XMail 1.20 POP3 Server] service ready; Tue, 23 Nov 2004 19:52:48 -0700 Then type "quit". You just connected to POP3. Outlook should be able to use the same settings if necessary. Verify this before moving on. If this works, you have a problem with either your stunnel or Outlook configuration. If this doesn't work, please post the results of the "netstat" and "telnet" commands above. Also, be sure Outlook is set for the "secure" connection. I don't have Outlook so I'm not sure of the option structure, but if it is not configured to expect a SSL certificate it will likely be confused. Hope that helps!
