Jeff:

Thanks very much. Sometimes the littlest things can get you going.
The tests all worked perfectly so it had to be in my mail client. Turns out I had it configured for STARTTLS and it needed to be plain SSL. Anyway I'm up and running.

Thanks again,

knute..

Hi, Attached are my quick notes on port settings and how to do by-hand tests of connections to see if pop/imap worked, unencrypted and with SSL. By-hand tests are a good place to start before dragging a mail client into the picture.

Hi:

I'm running dovecot on a Fedora 3 box and would like to be able to make a TLS connection to it with my Pegasus Mail program running on my Winblows machine. Does anybody know if it is possible?

If it is I could really use some help configuring my dovecot. I have tried for several days but I really don't know what I'm doing and need a direction to start.

Thanks,
