11.5 Transport Layer Security

Mew can use TLS instead of SSL. To enable TLS, Mew relies on "stunnel", too. So, before using TLS, you should configure according to the explanations in See section Secure Socket Layer.

Then, set the SSL port to the same one of the protocol to be protected. For instance, configure as follows for POP:

;; mew-pop-port is default to "pop3" (110)
(setq mew-pop-ssl t)
(setq mew-pop-ssl-port mew-pop-port) ;; The default is "pop3s" (995)

That is, if the SSL port is the same as the port of the protocol to be protected, TLS is used. Otherwise, SSL is used.

The following is an example to protect Message Submission with TLS.

(setq mew-smtp-port "submission") ;; The default is "smtp" (25)
(setq mew-smtp-ssl t)
(setq mew-smtp-ssl-port mew-smtp-port) ;; The default is 465
