Does Eudora support SSL / TLS?

ISSUE:

What is SSL / TLS? Does Eudora support it?

SOLUTION:

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) / TLS (Transport Layer Security) encrypts everything sent between two computers. When used with email it protects your password and the contents of your email from being intercepted while en route between your computer and your email server. (When used with web pages it protects your credit card numbers and other personal information from an eavesdropper between your computer and the web site.) Its use does not imply that the data is encrypted when it is on a computer, just while it is in transit.

Beginning in version 5.1, Windows and Mac Classic versions of Eudora support SSL for POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP. For Macintosh OS X (10.2 or higher), version 5.2 supports SSL.

Check with your Internet Service Provider or email administrator to determine if your mail server supports SSL encryption.
