You can telnet or netcat to the IMAP port and read the capability banner string > telnet imapserver 143 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED] imapsrv IMAP4rev1 2004.357 at Mon, 29 Jan 2007 15:49:21 -0800 (PST) If it doesn't give a capability banner, you can try to initiate a TLS session and see if it barfs: xx STARTTLS It should reply xx OK STARTTLS completed If you can connect to port 993, that's also a pretty good sign it supports IMAP/SSL. If you have openssl, you can talk over an encrypted channel directly openssl s_client -connect imapserver:993 Joseph Tam <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Pine-info mailing list [email protected] http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/pine-info
