Hi Florian, These are two very different skills whose correlation is noticeable, but not nearly in lockstep. Like Edward, I'm not all that successful at getting other peoples' software running. This is why, so often, I just say "screw it", and write my own. It often turns out to be easier and quicker. Edward: Getting any email client to connect to any IMAP, especially an encrypted IMAP, is always difficult and involves some trial and error, especially because the IMAP server owners publish their instructions for only Outlook and Thunderbird, and rely heavily on autodetection. Ugh! The following web page explains, in plain-folks terms, how to connect to IMAP servers: http://troubleshooters.com/emailtech/imap_troubleshooting.htm HTH, SteveT Steve Litt November 2015 featured book: Troubleshooting Techniques of the Successful Technologist http://www.troubleshooters.com/techniques _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
