Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution
The account editor offers a »Use Secure Connection« option for sending as well as receiving mail. However, the order in which the items appear in the drop-down list does nothing to clarify which one should be preferred: »No encryption«, »TLS encryption«, »SSL encryption«. I suggest re-ordering the list by descending level of security provided, i.e. TLS, SSL, no encryption. The default value is another matter: Currently, no encryption is provided unless it is expressly selected, which requires the prior user knowledge of the server's encryption capabilities. It should be possible to »check for supported types« as is currently possible with Authentication Types. I would be grateful for some opinions on this matter, especially since I'm not a security expert. ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- »Secure Connection« settings in account editor not user-friendly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115949 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
