pop3browser for Debian ---------------------- The following text, from bug #225077, is useful to use pop3browser over TLS. From: Sebastian Leske To: 225077@bugs.debian.org Subject: Use stunnel4 for TLS support Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:47:35 +0200 While having SSL/TLS support in pop3browser would be nice, you can also use stunnel4 to access POP3 over TLS. Install package stunnel4, and add this to the end of /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf: ----snip-------- [pop3s] accept=localhost:9998 connect=my.pop3mailserver.com:995 sslVersion = SSLv3 ----snip-------- Then uses pop3browser to connect to localhost:9998 (username + password as usual). Voila, POP3 over TLS. Note that for secure operation you need to set verify=2 and CApath = /etc/ssl/certs then install package ca-certificates, and run "update-ca-certificates" to activate it. Then TLS certificate validation should work. If you do not set verify=2, stunnel4 will be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. S.Leske -- Joao Eriberto Mota Filho Fri, 30 Dec 2016 10:26:19 -0200
