However aparently i need an email client that supports it. I use Kmail, but.. it doesnt seem to support ssl. Can someone confirm this? If I can't use Kmail for it which email client should be well suited? I've tried Elm but I found it too hard to use. I've considered using Pine but it doesn't seem to be in sid.
