You may use IMAP with STARTTLS, if your provider does not > offer IMAPS. I changed to SSL/993 which should be fine now. But, with the latest discussions about Prism and stuff, how much can you trust the CAs in web browsers and Thunderbird, after all? Do you think CAs are safe from NSA´s games? I would be surprised if they were..... How does SSL work with Imap in general? When I first connect to the imap server it transmitts its certificate, right? Is the certificate then stored in Thunderbird or will the certificate transmitted again each time you connect to imap server? I think, if the cert gets saved in the mail client, it is _some_ protection against the man in the middle...!? Thanx R
