I'm confused. Actually it wasn't done at all. But now it can be done with /pops/. The difference between /pops/ and /poptls/ is that /pops/ means dial port 995 and start SSL/TLS immediately, while /poptls/ means dial port 110 as usual and then issue a STLS command during handshaking to start SSL/TLS. Why have one way to do it when you could have two? I just wrote the code and pushed it to sources -- pull to get a new source and binary. I can now get at (the oldest 300 messages of) my gmail with upas/fs -f/pops/pop.gmail.com/russcox. Russ
