Thank you for your reply.
I now have read the section of the manual about STARTTLS. But...
What I don't understand is why I need to change my settings just because pmail is getting an update.
Searching about this matter, and reading the manual, the relevant settings seem to be dependent on the ISP and the email provider. Once I get the appropriate settings working, I should be able to use them in my email client (pmail). Since I was already using them in pmail 4.63, and updating to v4.70 has not changed those settings, then why should I need to change them for pmail 4.70 to work correctly?
I want to be clear; I don't mind changing them. It's just that I don't see the reason why updating the email client should require different settings from those already in use.
Additionally, I was unable to find what "asdf" has to do with hotmail (or what it is at all, for that matter).
To me, it would make some sense if something in the Firewall or the antivirus would need an update (as in allowing the new pmail version executable to communicate), but according to the suggestion in this topic, the Firewall has nothing to do with this issue.
So, please, can someone explain why updating pmail would require to change the settings that should only depend on ISP and/or email provider (specially when current settings used to work correctly with the prior version of pmail)?
TIA,
Ady.
