Have set up KMail and was looking at the setting for POP. It says Port 995. I thought that should be 110. When I changed it to 110 it said Unable to contact ISP. Any info or suggestions welcome. Am accessing the internet through a Belkin Wireless modem/router. Regards Stan

I think POP runs on port 995 if it is encrypted/SSL, 110 if it is in the clear. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and not of any group I know

Thanks, feel better now I wasn't sure if it was because "Bad Things" were happening -- Regards Stan

That's correct. From /etc/services (which is where to find out what port corresponds to what): pop3 110/tcp pop-3 # POP version 3 pop3 110/udp pop-3 pop3s 995/tcp # POP-3 over SSL pop3s 995/udp # POP-3 over SSL Interesting, though, that (a) KMail wanted to set 995 as default, (b) The ISP rejected 110. I thought most ISPs used (or at least accepted) 110 (plain POP3), so that 110 should be the default. It's almost as though KMail *knew* that this ISP wanted POP3s!

This is causing me great grief trying to set up fetchmail to get my mail from gmail's new pop3 server: they use the ssl pop3 995 port but my fetchmail refuses to work with ssl. Jen On Sun, 05 Dec 2004 09:47:44 -0000 (GMT), Ted Harding <ted.harding@nessie.mcc.ac.uk> wrote:

Have you got a fetchmail built with ssl support? Package might be called fetchmail-ssl rather than fetchmail. If not, I think you need either to get one or to set up stunnel for gmail pop3. Please don't top-post and quote the whole mail. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and not of any group I know Creative copyleft computing - http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ Unsolicited attachments to the pipex address deleted Will HLF fund tree-killings? http://www.thewalks.co.uk/
