thats great. is it possible to use ssl and non-ssl at the same time? i.e. for a pop3 client that can connect to a aecure and a nonsecure server ? > Here are a few things worth mentionning :-) > > ICS-SSL > ======= > As promised long time ago, ICS-SSL is now going public. > It means everybody will have free access to the source code. > ICS-SSL is nearly finished.
