Depends how long it takes to attempt port 993 and fall back to 143. Some people _know_ they don't have a server listening on port 993, or they have a firewall which _drops_ SYN packets instead of rejecting them -- and going straight to port 143 then using STARTTLS is definitely preferable. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
