Reindl, you really need to learn how not to be such a total ass
you have no idea how i act if i want to be an ass
How precisely do you equate 'not *exactly* the same', and there is a 'big difference'. Again, there *is* a technical difference, albeit minor: http://kb.iu.edu/data/anjv.html
not really
Anyway, as usual, Timo is spot on... Thunderbird has the choice of 'SSL/TLS'
to show the ordinary user it is practically the same while STARTTLS starts with a unencrypted connection to do a handshake
and I imagine it is because TLS uses
stronger encryption algorithms (which I just learned) that Dovecot uses it when given the choice.
bruahaha
TLS is practically the next SSL version after SSL 3.0 and internally SSL 3.x, in fact it is only a wording issue
NONE SSL if available SSL Always TLS if available TLS Always
And I always choose (chose - from now on I'll choose TLS) 'SSL Always', so shouldn't these connections show 'SSL' instead of TLS, since I'm basically forcing my phone to SSL?
pfffffff
SSL if available: use port 993 if available, but you may use 143 unecnrypted SSL Always: use always port 993 TLS if available: use STARTLS on 143 if available, but if not use no encryption TLS Always: use always STARTTLS on 143
