[Dovecot] compile with ssl support

[Catalin Ciubotariu]

it works, thanks Eduardo!

i have a question for anyone who know, can i use SSL and system passwords not the plain text file (passwd.dovecot)? it's look a little strange to me to have the password in a plain text file.

regards,

Your client is not connecting with SSL. I guess that's not what you want.

In dovecot.conf, enable the protocol pop3s (right in the beginning), and
configure your clients to use SSL. The default port for POP3 over SSL is
995, if I recall correctly.
