pop3browser for Debian
----------------------
The following text, from bug #225077, is useful to use pop3browser over TLS.
From: Sebastian Leske <Sebastian.Leske@sleske.name>
To: 225077@bugs.debian.org
Subject: Use stunnel4 for TLS support
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:47:35 +0200
While having SSL/TLS support in pop3browser would be nice, you can also
use stunnel4 to access POP3 over TLS.
Install package stunnel4, and add this to the end of
/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf:
----snip--------
[pop3s]
accept=localhost:9998
connect=my.pop3mailserver.com:995
sslVersion = SSLv3
----snip--------
Then uses pop3browser to connect to localhost:9998 (username + password
as usual).
Voila, POP3 over TLS.
Note that for secure operation you need to set
verify=2
and
CApath = /etc/ssl/certs
then install package ca-certificates, and run "update-ca-certificates"
to activate it. Then TLS certificate validation should work. If you do
not set verify=2, stunnel4 will be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle
attacks.
