I am using the 2018 R2. to connect to a server that only allows TLS 1.2, but the connection fails with an Timeout error.

I use this code for VB.NET

Dim client As New Pop3
client.Connect("testtls.pec.rupar.puglia.it", 995)

Can you help me

Thank you

For Pop3 class, the default TLS/SSL mode is SslMode.None. If you want to use TLS 1.2, please specify SslMode explicitly like this:

client.Connect("testtls.pec.rupar.puglia.it", 995, SslMode.Implicit)

Since the port 995 is default for implicit SSL/TLS, you can also use this call:

client.Connect("testtls.pec.rupar.puglia.it", SslMode.Implicit)

Hi,
connection with sslmode.Implicit is ok, but when I tried to authenticate I have "Unknow Error" :

client.Connect("testtls.pec.rupar.puglia.it", SslMode.Implicit)
client.Login("***", "***")

It seems that your server has broken APOP extension.

Please disable it like this:

  client.Settings.DisableApopAuthentication = true
  client.Connect(...)
  client.Login(...)

It seems work fine.

Thank you.
