Re: [Dovecot] TLS / Dovecot / POP3

In Thunderbird, I have the email server setup to:

• TLS

Here's my question:

If I change protocols = pop3s pop3 to protocols = pop3s I can no longer connect to my mail server via Thunderbird unless I setup Thunderbird to use SSL.

Am I doing something wrong?

Everything is working then as it should, so I guess you're confused
about what TLS, SSL and pop3s means. Maybe http://wiki.dovecot.org/SSL
helps understanding them (just replace imap/imaps with pop3/pop3s).
