1. Overview
Some servers are SSL enabled to access POP3 email, and some like Gmail even
require it. To connect to a POP3 server using SSL it is recommended to use
a program called STunnel (
http://www.stunnel.org).
****************************************************************************
2. Installation & Configuration
Once you download the STunnel package, you will need to install it to a
directory of your choice. You will then need to edit the stunnel.conf file
that is in the installation folder. See the example below:
Example:
To connect to Gmail, write the following in the config file:
client = yes
debug = debug
[pop3s]
accept = 127.0.0.1:1109
connect = pop.gmail.com:995
[smtps]
accept = 127.0.0.1:259
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465
****************************************************************************
3. Running STunnel
Launch stunnel.exe which is located in the installation folder. After starting
the program you can configure the POP3 Monitor to connect to STunnel which
in turn is going to connect to the server specified in the coonfig file via
SSL.
****************************************************************************
4. LCD POP3 Monitor Configuration
From the LCD POP3 Monitor configuration window, set the following:
Mail Server: 127.0.0.1
Port Number: 1109
User Name: <your gmail user name>
Password: <your gmail password>
****************************************************************************
5. Gmail
POP3 email access is not enabled by default in Gmail. You must go into the
Gmail settings to enable it. If this is not done, the LCD POP3 Monitor applet
will not be able to retrieve your emails.
