POP3 Requires Secure Connection (SSL)

[skipgrahamnc]

Am I able to do set this as a setting in MailXpert?

Hi,

SSL isn't directly supported by MailXpert but you may want to use stunnel (open source) to facilitate SSL POP3 connections.

Here are configuration instructions for Gmail. It should be fairly easy to adopt this for your provider. I think the only thing you need to change is stunnel.conf (it's now set up to work with Gmail).

Please follow these steps:

1. Install Stunnel:

Download the following file:

2. Extract the zip into a folder (e.g. C:\stunnel)

3. Setup Stunnel to run

Right click on the stunnel exe file and select Create Shortcut. This will put a shortcut in the stunnel folder.

If you want to run Stunnel only when you need it, copy this shortcut to your desktop. If you would like Stunnel to run whenever your computer is turned on so it will be available whenever you need it, follow the instructions below.

Windows 95/98/ME

Right click on the taskbar and select Properties. Click on the StartMenu Programs tab. Click on the Advanced button. Click on the plus (+)to the left of Programs. Locate the StartUp folder and copy the Stunnel shortcut into it. Reboot. You should see the Stunnel icon in the systray after your system restarts.

Windows NT/2000/XP

Right click on the Stunnel shortcut andselect Properties from the drop down menu. Enter a space and -installfollowing the target path. The target should look something like this...

C:\stunnel\stunnel-4.00.exe -install

Click on the shortcut. You will get notified that Stunnelhas been installed as a service. Click on the Start button and selectRun. Type services.msc without the quotes in the Open box and hit OK.Locate the Stunnel service, right click on it and select Start. You should see the Stunnel icon in the systray

4. Set up MailXpert:

- Create a new Incoming Mail Account

- Configure it as follows:

Server name: 127.0.0.1
User name: ***@gmail.com
Password: ****************
Port number: 1109

Here's how you can change the POP3 port number (for all mail
services):

1) Click the "Options" toolbar button, click the "Other" tab and click "Edit" to
open the configuration file.

2) Add Pop3Port=<port> entry to [Service] section so that the config file
looks like this:

...
[Service]
...
Pop3Port=<port>
...

Replace <port> with the port number you want to use.

3. Click File / Save.

Please let me know if you need more details.
