Cacko, Imap With Ssl

[fir]

With some generous help from this forum, I have wifi working on my C860 with the current Cacko ROM.  Next step for me is to setup email access.

My server authenticates against real users, so it is necessary for me to use SSL with IMAP and SMTP.  I don't see any sign of SSL support in the default email client - am I right about that?

If so, is there another client that supports SSL?

If not, would it work to setup stunnel to forward a couple local ports to the appropriate SMTP and IMAP ports on my server?

Frank.

I have the same problem.  I currently use ssh to tunnel and port forward the standard non SSL ports for imap, pop3, and smtp.  Then I set the mail app to use localhost.  My ISP allows localhost access to imap, pop3, and smtp ports, so this solution works well.

I have considered stunnel, may try it in the future.  I have been using it for other non Z apps and it works well.

As I recall K-OpieMail/Pi (OM/Pi) has this feature.  Give the KoPI suite a try:

Create an ssl tunnel with stunnel from localhost to your email server, and config your email application to read mail from localhost. This works fine for me.

Thanks everyone.  I am familair with stunnel, so I think I'll give that a try.
