Yes, Eudora is the exception. It supports both STARTTLS and dedicated SSL ports for all mail protocols (it even does SMTPS I think).
it isn't the only exception: i use mulberry with IMAP, and it supports STARTTLS for both IMAP and SMTP over the normal ports; haven't tried POP3, although it looks like it should work. and this seems to work for mulberry on linux, macs and windows. -paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo@wasabisystems.com
