IMAP Proxy *does* work with Gmail. > Paul when I telnet imap.gmail.com 143 I do not get any connection: #telnet imap.gmail.com 143 Connecting To imap.gmail.com...Could not open connection to the host, on port 143: Connect failed I have tried this from two locations behind different firewalls and no luck on both. I tested another imap server and I was able to connect. This is what I based my conclusion that gmail Imap does not support STARTTLS. Gmail seems to only support STARTTLS on its SMTP connection. see also here from gmail help forums: No, they do not. They only support STARTTLS for SMTP, and, I think, XMPP. It is not supported for POP3 or IMAP. |
