Just can't stay away

My ISP has notified me that they are switching email to IMAP but will also have a secure POP3 server at port 995. I switched YAM 2.9p1 to use port 995 and selected SSL/TLS & "Plain Password" for POP3. When I couldn't get a connection I installed the debug version of YAM 2.9p1 and captured the debug output. I've changed my email address in the debug output to xxxx so that's not the problem. Here is the debug output I captured:

Can anyone tell me what the above debug output means and what I need to do to get a secure POP3 connection with YAM?

Thats a certificate error and it means your ISP upgraded their SSL Certs handling aswell.
Means you won't get a connection anymore unless YAM is built with the new AmiSSL version in place.

Bit me nearly a year go.

You can try the YAM nightly builds, they have those new stuff in, but we probably never see another full version of YAM...it's too long in beta already.

I have given up waiting, dropped YAM completely and am using the ISP's wepage now...too bad, YAM was a fine program

Quite a regular

@xenic

At the moment the only way is to use the nightly builds. Hopefully YAM will be updated so an officially released versiob can be used.

Unfortunately, my ISP switched to supporting only 4 main WEB browsers and I can no longer access most of my ISPs WEB pages with Odyssey. I'll give the YAM nightly builds a try tommorrow.

I'm getting closer to the point where my X5000 will just be taking up desk space (or eventually closet space) because I can't access important WEB sites.

I tried the latest YAM nightly build and I can once again get my emails in secure mode. Eventually it may become necessary to have IMAP to access email with YAM, so I hope they're working on that. Since v2.9p1 has become useless for anything but unsecure mail server access, it seems like the YAM devs should release a patched version (v2.9p2) or release a new version.

I'm with you.

I asked a long time ago about a new version, the answer was that the main dev pretty much lost interest (and time) to build a new full version and was pushing everyone who asked to instead use the beta builds.

As i said, too bad, but YAM has become useless for me.

As for IMAP in YAM, don't hold your breath, it's on their todo list for such a long time it has become a running gag.

You may be better off using SimpleMail...it has IMAP support and looks pretty much like YAM nowadays, how it "feels" i don't know, but will probably switch to it too eventually

I D/L SimpleMail and tried setting it up before you guys told me to try the nightly build of YAM. I was able to import my YAM address book but whenever I tried to add/regroup/remove any individual email addresses, SimpleMail froze my system and I had to do a cold reboot. I don't know if that's just an X5000 issue or if it affects all OS4.x hardware.

Yes, my bad and i apologize for that.

SimpleMail is also in beta and looking at the list of bugs it has a few freeze conditions still in place.

Knowing that now, i would like to take my consideration switching to SimpleMail back, sorry

Simplemail might be worth using if all else fails. I know from working on several multi-platform (MOS/OS4/AROS/68k) open-source projects that sometimes code gets committed that works fine on one Amiga platform but fails on other platforms.
