Hello Stephen!

 SW> Your provider might be using a different port. Have you
 SW> had a look on there website for that information?

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.
