http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security What we used to call Secure Sockets Layer (as in openSSL which has not changed its name to openTLS). Using TLS with e-mail usually involves clicking a box that says something like "Use TLS" and maybe/probably another that says something like "Use STARTTLS". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STARTTLS and setting the port number for SMTP connections in the "Advanced" settings. 465 is supposed to be a common TLS port for SMTP, but I don't recall having used that port in the last ten years or more. The OP will need to check with his mail providers (some of which will not be his ISP) to find out what port(s) can be used. Mail providers have web pages for popular mail client setups, and you have to interpolate a bit from the popular MUA clients to whatever you're using. Mutt, Claws, Sylpheed, etc., are not generally considered "popular" enough, but you can usually figure out what goes where bye scanning through the MSOutlook and Apple Mail help pages. -- Joel Rees Be careful where you see conspiracy.
