It is the ISP, email is secondary for them. It is no longer offered to new clients, so they don't care that much.
So currently the IMAP connection has no security at all, whereas the smtp connection does. I tried to enable starttls or ssl/tls and the connection failed.
Time to get another email provider. GMail supports SSL/TLS & HTTPS. You can even configure it to pull email from your old provider, to help you transition. Also, I ran my own IMAP server for a few years. I used IMAPS (IMAP over SSL./TLS) with it.
Oh, I use other email providers as well. But is Gmail really secure? The FBI and CIA will be reading it. Google machine reads it. So I guess it is not really more secure and private. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
