Fetching mail using POP + SSL

Fetching mail using POP + SSL

[Jorge Godoy]

Hi!


I use Gnus to fetch my mail and at our intranet this is no
problem since I can use POP only. But, for external access, I have to
use POP + SSL for it. Is there anyway to use this combination with
Gnus? I've looked after it at the info but I could only find IMAP +
SSL...  

I've tried specifying the "port" parameter, but I've done something
wrong and couldn't find the correct syntax to it.

My configuration is as follow (changed domains):


(setq mail-sources
      '(
        (pop :server "pop.domain"
             :user "godoy")
;             :port "110")
;             :port 110)
        )
      )


Any help would be gladly appreciated.


Thanks!

You can always use local SSL proxy built on stunnel
(http://www.stunnel.org). No changes in gnus setup will be needed
(except the hostname of course).
