The simplest solution is to keep using your POP3 server and install stunnel to
create an SSL tunnel between the mail client and the POP server.
On the server side:
- Install stunnel from ports (security/stunnel)
- Create the certificate (check the docs!)
- Create the start up script stunnel.sh (from stunnel.sh.sample):
...
start)
${STUNNEL} -d ${LISTEN_HOST}:spop3 -r ${REMOTE_HOST}:pop3 -p /usr/local/etc/spop3.st unnel.pem
;;
...
where ${LISTEN_HOST} is the IP address where SPOP3 service is accepting
connection and ${REMOTE_HOST} is the IP address of your POP3 server.
On the client side:
- Make sure that the checkbox "Use SSL/TLS blah blah..." (I don't remember the
exact label!) is checked in the mail account options.
That's all! For a quick start see:
