Hello all !

has anyone successfully used Mercury with SSL/TLS for pop connections from Outlook Express ?

I am using mercury as mail server on a small university net, my users are using outlook express. I want now to enable "protected" connections from OE to Mercury. I have checked the box to use SSL in Mercury pop server configuration, and generated a self-signed certificate from Mercury. In OE, I have enabled the use of SSL, connecting with pop3s protocol on port 995. The connection from client to mercury just fails, and in the logs of mercury (enabled session loggin) I find that Mercury just doesn't understand what OE sends and fails.
Any help or hint welcome ..
.

Best regards

Oliver
