>> Unchecking "Use relay personality, if defined" is just one step towards fixing the problem. This will only enable you to get into the "Eudora SSL Connection Information Manager". Here's what you do: Go into Personalities, if you're not already there, and select Properties. Uncheck the box for "relay personality". Click OK.
Why was the relay personality box checked in the first place? This
doesn't really make sense to me.
First, the full name of the box is "Use relay personality, if
defined", so if, in Tools/Options/Sending Mail, no relay personality
has been chosen, checking the box doesn't do anything. Nor does
unchecking it.
So if unchecking it did something, that means there was a relay
personality. Why? Either for a good reason or not a good reason.
Possibly not a good reason, because it's possible there was no good
reason but the user misunderstood the setting, or the reason ended and
the selection didn't get changed back to None.
But I think in most cases that someone designated one personality as
the relay personality (the one to be used for sending mail for one or
more *other* personalities) there was a good reason. In my case, one
of my mail servers cancelled my ability to send mail with it, and I
have to use the other one.
So if there is a functioning relay personality, that is the one whose
Last SSL Information should have been clicked on, in
Tools/Personalities/Propeties/Generic Properties. That would not
give the problem message "You have never sent email using an SSL
connection ---" because it's the personality used to send mail.***
But if you temporarily use another personality to send mail, and you
trust the certificates if needed for that personality, then when you
go back to using the Relay Personality, you'll still have to trust the
certificates for that one.
If you give up on using the relay personality entirely, ask yourself
why you were using it in the first place.
***BTW, if the OP got the message "You have never *checked* email
using an SSL connection ---", he's in the wrong Tab. Checking email
is about incoming mail, and it's managed by the Incoming Mail tab.
Sending email uses the Generic Properties tab. You'd be surprised how
many people look in the wrong tab.
And if all this is too much for you, even though it's simple once you
get used to it, you can use Stunnel, a free program, which is sort of
h ard to set up in the first place, but after that you're dne.
