Since it might just as well be a Thunderbird configuration problem, try with openssl directly: openssl s_client -connect localhost:995 If it works, try remotely the same in case it's a firewall problem. If that works too, it's just a Thunderbird problem. > protocol pop3 { > ssl_disable = no > verbose_ssl = yes > #listen = *:123 > #ssl_listen = *:110 I hope you've never actually tried to use this "ssl_listen = *:110" setting? pop3s is in port 995.
