Sending or Receiving an E-mail securely using SSL/TLS

8

This machine supports SSL/TLS methods to send or receive an E-mail via an E-mail server that requires
secure SSL/TLS communication. To send or receive E-mail via an E-mail server that is using SSL/TLS
communication, you must configure SMTP over SSL/TLS or POP3 over SSL/TLS correctly.
Verifying Server Certificate

If you choose SSL or TLS for SMTP over SSL/TLS or POP3 over SSL/TLS, the Verify Server Certificate
check box will be automatically checked to verify the Server Certificate.

• Before you verify the Server Certificate, you must import the CA certificate that has been issued by the

CA that signed the Server Certificate. Contact your network administrator or your ISP (Internet Service
Provider) to confirm whether a CA certificate import is necessary. For importing the certificate, see
Import and export a CA certificate uu page 143.

• If you do not need to verify the Server Certificate, uncheck Verify Server Certificate.

Port Number

If you choose SSL or TLS, the SMTP Port or POP3 Port value will be changed to match the protocol. If
you want to change the port number manually, enter the port number after you choose SMTP over
SSL/TLS
or POP3 over SSL/TLS.

You must configure the POP3/SMTP communication method to match the E-mail server. For details of the
E-mail server settings, contact your network administrator or ISP (Internet Service Provider).
In most cases, the secured webmail services require the following settings:
(SMTP)
SMTP Port
: 587
SMTP Server Authentication Method: SMTP-AUTH
SMTP over SSL/TLS: TLS
(POP3)
POP3 Port
: 995
POP3 over SSL/TLS: SSL
