IMAPS is IMAP over SSL. It uses separate tcp port. StartTLS is special extension that allows to start encryption on existing plain text connection. It uses standard imap port. If you want to use IMAPS, you should set port to 993 and secure IMAP option to 1. If you want to use starttls, you should set port to 143 and secure IMAP option to 2. -- Tomas -- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting Guidelines: http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/MailingListPostingGuidelines List Address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List Archives: http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
