If you can't recompile, you can use Stunnel. It binds to a port on your computer and forwards traffic with encryption (like ssh, but you don't need a shell account on the remote host). This is how Conky does secure email checks. Read the Conky FAQ at http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html (Q #10) to get it working. The Stunnel configuration will work just as well for mail-notification as it will for Conky.
You may even end up replacing mail-notification with Conky, like I did. -- IMAP/POP3+SSL/TLS are disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
