-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256
Hi,
After learning that the keylock icon on the accounts means that the connection is secure, I wondered if I could secure those that are not. I tried connection security STARTTLS and SSL/TLS, no go. I found that "encripted password" works, though, so that's a good small thing.
In fetchmail I see in the log:
fetchmail 18516 - - 6.3.19 querying imap.telefonica.net (protocol IMAP) at 2012-12-20T13:46:26 CET: poll started fetchmail 18516 - - Trying to connect to 213.4.149.65/143...connected. fetchmail 18516 - - IMAP< * OK IMAP4 PROXY server ready fetchmail 18516 - - IMAP> A0001 CAPABILITY fetchmail 18516 - - IMAP< * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS IDLELOGIN-REFERRALS NAMESPACE QUOTA CHILDREN SORT AUTH=CRAM-MD5 fetchmail 18516 - - IMAP< A0001 OK capabilities listed fetchmail 18516 - - IMAP> A0002 AUTHENTICATE CRAM-MD5
so it is using "CRAM-MD5". Is that the same that Thunderbird calls "encripted password"?
(Telefonica security is a joke. Look at this log entry:
<2.6> 2012-12-19 01:56:46 minas-tirith postfix 11167 - - setting up TLS connection to smtp.telefonica.net[213.4.149.228]:25 <2.6> 2012-12-19 01:56:47 minas-tirith postfix 11167 - - certificate verification failed for smtp.telefonica.net[213.4.149.228]:25: untrusted issuer /C=US/O=RTFM, Inc./OU=Widgets Division/CN=Test CA20010517 <2.6> 2012-12-19 01:56:47 minas-tirith postfix 11167 - - Untrusted TLS connection established to smtp.telefonica.net[213.4.149.228]:25: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)
See the RTFM part? X'-) )
