Now, take a deep breath! :-)
When you say incoming authentication, what do you mean? You already
supply username and password to the POP3 service to get your mail, thus
authenticating. The same is true for SMTP authentication during mail
submissions. Now, from what you have said below, what you may have meant
was SSL support. BrailleNote does not have SSL support for email at all -
it doesn't support SMTP or POP3 over TLS, and it doesn't support SSL over
an alternative port. You can't use any SSL POP3 or SMTP service.
Furthermore, SSL support on IE4 in the BN will not reach 128-bit symetric
key length. You can advise your school that anything above 40-bit is
probably safe, but you'll be spitting up wind I'm afraid. The BrailleNote
hath not the support thou desireth. I am sorry.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
