Hello, I'm using self-signed certificates, but my CA public key is imported.
I checked the logs and was getting an error about no authentication which is probably why it was failing. I then switched to 587 and 993 ports and now it works, but it's very intermediant, sometimes it works, other times not. If there's a better free windows email client, (please not thunderbird), that doesn't have these Microsoft-isms i'd appreciate knowing about it. Thanks. Dave.
