Dear Tails support

Can you help with this issue: when trying to receive e-mail using Claws Mail 
POP3 client:

If the mail account is configured to use SSL, I get:
* Account 'xyz ***': Connecting to POP3 server: mail.TheCompany.com...
*** SSL handshake failed
*** Connection failed.

If the mail account is configured to use STARTTLS, then the network log looks 
ok: 
[11:22:56] POP3< +OK POP3 ready
[11:22:56] POP3> STLS
[11:22:56] POP3< +OK
[11:22:57] POP3> USER [email protected]
[11:22:58] POP3< +OK
[11:22:58] POP3> PASS ********
[11:22:58] POP3< +OK Logged in.
[11:22:58] POP3> STAT
[11:22:58] POP3< +OK 2 5181
[11:22:58] POP3> UIDL
[11:22:59] POP3< +OK
[11:22:59] POP3> QUIT
[11:22:59] POP3< +OK Logging out.

But in parallel, from the security daemon I am getting the message:

"One of your applications (probably an email client) appears to be making a 
potentially unencrypted and unsafe connection to port 110. Use encrypted 
protocols, such as SSL".

Why does the SSL handshake fail, in the first try above? 
Does this mean that the communication with "TheCompany.com" server is not 
encrypted?

Many thanks in advance

Shreela
