Subject:   POP3SPY like utility for SSL POP servers ?

Hi,

  I've been using the POP3SPY utility for many years - it alerts me when 
there is new mail waiting on my mail server without me having to have a 
mail client running.

  My new mail provider requires SSL to communicate to their POP server 
(i.e. port 995 rather than port 110) and POP3SPY doesn't support this. 
I've checked for new versions of this OS/2 utility however there are 
none I can find.

  Does anyone know of an alternative tool to do this under eComStation 
please ?

Cheers/2

Ed.

Have you tried "pmlpp220.zip"? It's in the same directory in Hobbes where
popspy is. I just had it on  yesterday, and it works well for me. Only thing
is, it's bulky with multiple mail addresses.

Hopefully it will work for you.

Regards

NICK

Thanks Nick, I'll take a look - the key question is whether it works 
with SSL connectivity to the POP server.

Cheers/2

Hi Nick,

  Unfortunately although this client has an encrypted password option 
and allows one to set the port to be  used, it's APOP support is not the 
same as SSL. So this doesn't work.

Thanks anyway,

Cheers/2

Ed.
