I just implemented IMAP over SSL using Courier IMAP and my client has two different SSL options for IMAP, one is STARTTLS the other is IMAP over SSL (sylpheed is my client) I am curious if anyone can sum up what the difference is between these two. As near as I can tell/guess with ethereal, IMAP over SSL is the exact same protocol as IMAP just on an SSL enabled port (993 typically) while STARTTLS is SSL encrypted, but on the IMAP port (143). But with STARTTLS is it a different protocol? Is the SMTP connection encrypted too? A google on this doesn't really provide much help. thx, Josh _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
