Hi,
I found another issue in 3.0.1, I'm trying to retrieve mail from a yahoo.it mail account which has pop3 enabled, but I get the following error:
Connecting to mailbox {pop.mail.yahoo.it:995/POP3/novalidate-cert}INBOX
Can't connect to mailbox: Connection failed to pop-it.mail.vip.ukl.yahoo.com,995: Connection reset by peer
I have verified that the config is correct and I can retrieve mail from this account via POP3/SSL with other clients, for example mpop.
I believe the problem is that there are two methods of POP3 via SSL and FUDforum only supports the less common STARTTLS method (which yahoo doesn't support).
Quote:
POP3 servers can use TLS in one of two modes:
* Immediately
This is known as POP3 tunneled through TLS. The default port for this mode is 995 (pop3s). This is what most servers support, and is often simply called "POP3 with SSL".
* Via the STARTTLS POP3 command
The POP3 session begins normally. The client sends the STLS command when it wishes to begin TLS encryption. The default port for this mode is the default POP3 port: 110 (pop3).
http://mpop.sourceforge.net/doc/mpop.html#Transport-Layer-Security
Would it be possible for FUDforum to also support the "POP3 tunneled through TLS" method?

OK, I did a svn checkout to a separate folder and then simply copied the new versions of the 3 changed files (maillist.php, fud_mlist.tbl, admmlist.php) over the old ones from the 3.0.1 install.
Then (after reconfiguring the ML setup in the FUDforum admin panel) I tested again retrieving ML mail from the previously mentioned yahoo.it mailbox using SSL and this time it worked great!
Here is the (shortened) log output just for reference:
Connecting to mailbox {pop.mail.yahoo.it:995/POP3/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX

Loading message 64 Done. Deleting message.

No more mails to process.
Many thanks again for fixing this so quickly!

PS: Strange that message 6 is loaded before 1???
Hmm, yes that's weird, I just ran it again to pick up new messages and again the order is random:
Connecting to mailbox {pop.mail.yahoo.it:995/POP3/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX
Loading message 1 Done. Deleting message.
Loading message 4 Done. Deleting message.
Loading message 2 Done. Deleting message.
Loading message 3 Done. Deleting message.
Loading message 5 Done. Deleting message.
Loading message 6 Done. Deleting message.
Loading message 7 Done. Deleting message.
No more mails to process.
It doesn't seem to affect anything though (all messages appear in the correct threads and order on the forum), so I'm not concerned about it.
