Hello Stephen!

 SW> Your provider might be using a different port. Have you

Yep. They even have specific steps for different versions of  
Outlook all the way back to Outlook 2000. But all of them  
essentially document pop3/995/SSL and smtp/465/SSL.

I did some testinging and the smtp stamps the header with  
"esmtp".  So, at least the sent messages are using the newer  
protocal when smtp/465/SSL is configured.

However.. the login creds are probably still in the clear.  :(


 SW> It seams weird that they support an encrypted sending
 SW> connection, but not for receiving.

Yep. From further reading on this matter, one tech article that  
I found mentions that it seems to be an issue addressed by  
Microsoft Knowledge Base articles 315049 and 304008:

https://support.tigertech.net/outlook-2007-ssl

 ..but the links for the article do not go to specific  
articles.

So.. something is definately broken in Outlook or even XP  
itself.

Perhaps I can try a newer Outlook 200x that will still work  
with XP.
