I have just added a new email account for myself. (This is one way to
keep things separate instead of too many filters.) Anyway, when I had a
look at the manual settings I noticed that it was recommended to use the
secure settings. I use IMAP and the only difference I could see was the
port numbers for the incoming servers. On most of my email accounts I
have port 143 set up for incoming emails. Just one account uses port
993. I have never noticed this before.
Can anyone comment on this please? If is is better to use port 993
because it is more secure, and I change that setting, will it cause me
any problems? The outgoing server is set to port 587, whereas the
recommendation is to use 465. I am using the Thunderbird client and
there is only one outgoing server for all accounts. At least, if there
is a way to have different outgoing servers for each account I have not
found it.
Or should I just not mess with it?
Neil
