I use this with Mail.app, and it works just fine: Your solution does not seem correct. Jay's explanation in a previous mail was very clear, but unfortunately, my search was no luck. The only "workaround" I have found is of the kind explained at http://cg.scs.carleton.ca/~morin/ misc/laptopmail. But even that solution does not work for me (I have also tried to use xinetd, but without success). Maybe using launchd with stunnel may be worth trying? Has anyone experience with it?
