SPOP3 and IMAPS

Hi there,

maybe this topic was discussed before but I cannot find the thread(s) in the forums.

I am running SuSE 8.2 with postfix, cyrus and sasl for authentication.
Everything works fine but there are two features I am missing: SPOP3 and IMAPS.

Can anybody help how to configure the server, so that I can use these services?
Actually I have no idea.

Thanks a lot.

The daemons must be able to support TLS encryption of the session. So far as I know, Cyrus only does IMAP (not POP) so you would need a separate POP3 daemon--I think. In any case, consult your Cyrus documentation to determine if it supports TLS, and if it does, how to implement it.

By the way the TLS encrypted version of all e-mail protocols have now been standardized as <protocol>S so the appropriate service names are POP3S, IMAP4S, and SMTPS (Postfix does support TLS by the way).
