POP, VUmail and SSL

You may access VUmail using POP (Post Office Protocol). However, the requirements for SSL for incoming mail remain. When you set your POP client to use SSL for incoming mail, the default port number is 995. This allows you to access your VUmail account securely. Screen shots below show SSL settings for theses email clients: Mulberry, Outlook, Eudora, Entourage, Mac Mail, Thunderbird.

Mulberry

In your Mulberry POP account, ensure that Secure is set to SSLv3.

Outlook

In your Outlook POP account, under the Advanced tab, select This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) and ensure that the default port number changes to 995.

Note for users configuring Eudora for SSL : If you have stored your v-password in Eudora and you have since gotten your e-password, you will need to uncheck the "Save Password" box in the Checking Mail section of the Preferences. The next time you log in to VUmail, you will be prompted for your password. Enter your e-password. Go to Preferences again and under Checking Mail, select "Save Password".

In Eudora, select SSL and choose Required (Alternate Port) from the SSL for POP dropdown menu.
