OK, I've sat back and watched the show, and it appears that "what we have
here is a failure to communicate"...:)

In the "pre-stunnel" world, you have

Client                     Server
Outlook  :xxx  ->  Xmail  :25
Outlook  :xxx  ->  Xmail  :110

If you want a secure connection to the server, you then have to provide a
secure tunnel (stunnel, for instance) to the server. However, note the
analogy of the tunnel - a tunnel has both an entrance and an exit. You've
defined the exit point on the server, as such:

stunnel  :8025  ->  Xmail  :25
stunnel  :995  ->  Xmail  :110

But you haven't defined the entrance to the tunnel. Something on the client
has to provide the encrypted session. Now, Outlook (IIRC) can do secure
SMTP connections on port 465 - but I don't know if that security  is
"compatible" with stunnel. If so, then you just need to change stunnel's
mapping from :8025 to :465, and your SMTP should be fine.

However, for POP3, you're going to need something to establish the entrance
to the secure tunnel, such as a secure client redirector (sorry, I don't
have a name to provide you off the top of my head). But the idea is that it
will work something like:

Client                      Client                  Server
Server
Outlook  :xxx  ->  sclient  :25  ->  stunnel  :8025  ->  Xmail :25
Outlook  :xxx  ->  sclient  :110  ->  stunnel  :995  ->  Xmail  :110

Whatever you use on the client side (and, as far as I know, it could be
just another copy of stunnel, configured differently), needs to be
configured to make the outbound connection to stunnel on the server side
*and* Outlook needs to be configured to use the secure client software
rather than pointing straight at the server.

I don't know if all this makes any sense to you, as I know there is at
least some language barrier here. But hopefully it will make enough sense
so you can see where to proceed from here.

PS: I am not an expert in these matters, and my understanding may be
flawed. If it is, I'm sure someone will point it out soon enough...
