Hello,

I get this error on connect both to pop3 or imap:
"TLS socket was closed: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"

This is the code used:

  Pop3 _pop = new Pop3();
  SslMode security;
  _pop.LogWriter = new Rebex.FileLogWriter(@"C:\Temp\log.txt", Rebex.LogLevel.Verbose);
  _pop.Settings.SslAllowedVersions = TlsVersion.SSL30 | TlsVersion.TLS10;
  _pop.Settings.SslAllowedSuites = TlsCipherSuite.Secure;
  _pop.Settings.SslServerName = "mbox.cert.legalmail.it" /*ma.InboundSrvAddress*/;
  security = SslMode.Implicit;

  pop.ValidatingCertificate += pop_ValidatingCertificate;

  _pop.Connect("mbox.cert.legalmail.it", 995, security);

This is the log:

The same code works few days ago.

Could you give me some help?

Thanks

Apparently, the server at mbox.cert.legalmail.it requires TLS 1.2. However, you only enabled deprecated legacy versions of the protocol (SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0) on the client.

Instead of this:
_pop.Settings.SslAllowedVersions = TlsVersion.SSL30 | TlsVersion.TLS10;

Try this:
_pop.Settings.SslAllowedVersions = TlsVersion.Any;
