Receiving mail via POPS on port 995 with SSL works fine with Incredimail 
[and other tried MUAs] but that is using openssl through qpopper to get the 
mail.


Extract from /var/log/mail.info :

Oct 26 11:56:36 www in.qpopper[15103]: (v4.0.5) TLSv1/SSLv3 handshake with 
client at XXXXXX.xxxx.xxxxx.net.au (ip.ad.dr.ess); new session-id; cipher: 
RC4-MD5 (RC4-MD5 SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=MD5 ), 128 bits 
[pop_tls_openssl.c:543]


So... we either need Incredimail to support GNUTLS or we need Exim4 to 
include support for the data formats / handshaking as used by openssl.  It 
would seem that gmail most probably uses openssl and that is why it works 
with Incredimail.

Kind Regards
