When I dont check the 'use ssl' checkbox, I still see secure POP3 connections being used.
How can I disable ssl and use port 110?
I have an issue and would like to do a networktrace to see where it goes wrong.

Hi,

Could you please try adding an "is_secure=false" to your input stanza?

Hey,

I've just fixed it to work with insecure POP3 / IMAP.

Please give it a try when you've got time. It should work now. Also cleaned up the code a bit.

Cheers,
