Topic : Email server with encryption

Posted By: emco83 on November 13, 2015, 8:35 am

I have a VPS with Webuzo.
I've installed Exim+ Dovecot and after that I've created couple of emails.

Right now when I
try to setup email on Thunderbird, after filling the login details, it
shows:

Incoming: IMAP, mydomain.com, No encryption

Outgoing: SMTP, mydomain.com, No encryption

where "mydomain.com" is the real domain.

After clicking on Done, it shows that nasty red screen with alert that the server does not use encryption.

How can I set SSL on the email server to avoid that risk warning message? I want my email server to use a encryption and I want this only for my emails, not the websites. Thanks.

Hi,
when you add an email account on Thunderbird you should select encryption TLS (STARTTLS).
http://www.webuzo.com/blog/how-to/webuzo-email-accounts-and-thunderbird-1859.html

Please try to select STARTTLS for incoming and out-coming message.
If you don't have SSL using TLS will sho warning of the certificate the first time, you can check and click on ignore it so next time you will not see this warning again.

Hope this can be the solution for you.
Try and let we know.
