Hello,
> I have the same question and found the same answer on the wiki. Perhaps
both Jorge and I are asking, "is dbmail imapd-ssl planned?" Stunnel is
good for those in the know but will be an administration challenge with
ordinary users plus can require acrobatics if checking multiple accounts.
The only challenge in setting up stunnel is in obtaining a
(self-signed?) certificate. And that very same challenge will not go
away if and when dbmail acquired STARTTLS capabilities.
Perhaps I am missing something: the tunnel is only active server side
and joe-user need only click "use ssl" in their mail client, or they
must create a tunnel from between their desktop and the server, and
point their mail client at localhost? (I am hoping not but this is
how I understand it to work after hours of searching. An example with
webdav:

Finally, I don't quite understand what you mean by acrobatics when
checking multiple accounts...
This is in the client-to-server tunnel scenario where a different
tunnel would be required for each imap server one connects to.
I've updated the wiki entry a bit. It was a bit sparse on details. Hope
that helps.
Appreciated but I am still hung up on the structural issue of what
client configuration is necessary, having not used stunnel yet.
Best regards,
Michael Dexter
