IMAP/TLS with Courier-IMAP

  • After some reading, I finally understand how TLS works, as it relates to IMAP and POP. I've reconfigured the EG IMAP server to allow TLS over the standard IMAP port 143, as opposed to just IMAPS (IMAP/SSL on port 993).
  • The Outlook family doesn't support IMAP/TLS, only IMAP/SSL, however, Eudora, and trusty Mutt both understand and speak IMAP/TLS.
  • One day when I have lots of money to burn, I'll invest in a real SSL certificate. :)
