[lug] ssl mutt & pop

[David Owen Kritzberg]

Hello,

I have email at CU, and take my mail from CU's servers with POP onto
my linux box using sendmail.  Then I read mail with mutt.  This may
not be a very good way to arrange things, but it has been working fine
for me.  I would like to keep using mutt and keep CU as my mail
server, and I think I would like to continue using a POP connection.

CU wants all connections to be ssl-enabled by January 2.  I believe it
is possible to use ssl through a pop connection, but I'm pretty
unsophisticated with mail and I haven't found any examples on the
internet.

Most ssl-enabled email connections seem to rely on IMAP and the
maildir format, neither of which interest me.  I have been looking
around for examples using fetchmail and procmail.  I wonder if anyone
on this list has resolved a situation similar to mine?  Thanks for any
advice.

Dave
