I have been told

In your mail client you will need to change the connection type to SSL
and use port 993 for imap and port 465 smtp outgoing.


Can I do this in TP

Or more helpfully at first sight looks like you are trying to connect
to a server which expects an SSL/TLS secure connection. TP doesn't do
SSL. Is this a failure on an existing previously working connection or a
new one?
I see you are with btinternet. Have they switched you from Yahoo to
Critical Path?

Yes. You need to install and configure the stunnel program. It's quite
easy to use. Google for detailed instructions in past posts to this group.

It has also been reported here in the past that the Avast anti-virus
program will do it for you automatically.

Thanks Both of you


to the BT question I don't use them for any mail never have

Our main domain has a SSL and to be Pci compliant you can't have plain
text authentication

So I will try the stunnel program. And look at Avast anti-virus

Thanks

Is the first part of this line an IP address

accept = 127.0.0.1:3110

as it keeps timing out I have set the pop3 port in TP to 3110

thanks

And, presumably, 127.0.0.1 as the IP address.

Stunnel runs as a service. Is it installed as a service and started?
There may be be start/stop menu items in its menu accessible from the
Start | All Programs. It also has its own log, probably in its home
directory, which can be configured to provide various levels of report.

That's in your stunnel configuration file, presumably. Yes, that's fine.
127.0.0.1 represents your own machine, and acts as the link between
stunnel and Turnpike. Hopefully you also have a companion line in the
file like

connect = pop.gmail.com:995

In that example it's for Gmail, which I use as my mail server.

That's fine. Hopefully you also have the server name set to 127.0.0.1 to
complete the connection between TP and stunnel.

If you have all that correct, the time out could just be due to the mail
server that you're using being slow to respond, so you could try setting
the maximum delay allowed to a greater value, eg:

TIMEOUTconnect = 60

(I think by default it's set to 10.)

That's the bit I missed out now working like a dream

Thanks John
