Hello, Currently, on our new test server, I am offering IMAP on 143 and POP3 on 110.
We would like to enable security on both of these protocols to attempt to eliminate the risk from an internal password-grabbing/content-grabbing attack. I presume this would mean enabling SSL, and a more securure authentication, right? Or are plain text passwords just sent over the SSL, and therefore perfectly secure? Also, what are the steps to enable security for these protocols on an already-configured server? Is it possible to offer encrypted and non-encrypted services simultaneously, so people have a choice of whether they want security or not? I know that's a bit weird, but for testing it would be useful. Finally, is there a way to monitor which users are connecting over the secure ports and which users are connecting over the non-secure ports? Thanks in advance!
