Re: [Evolution] Ports and SSL/TLS

[Dr Dave Mason <dave davemason com>]

Sorry, I missed your response. Thank you for getting back.

My encryption options are "none", "starttls after connecting" or "tls
on a dedicated port". I do not have SSL on the list of options. Am I
looking at the wrong spot? I do not see "IMAP over SSL" anywhere.
Version 3.22.6 from Debian 9 repositories.

Thank you!

Dr Dave
