Just an added note. You need to restart the stunnel ...

Yes. I was aware of that.

... load it as part of the startup process.

I have installed it to run as a service so that's what it does.

I would assume you are using windows ...

Yes. =-/

... so would have to use the task manager to end the task ...

Not needed. I have a taskbar icon that on left-click brings up a menu which, among other options, has one to edit and another one to reload the *.conf file.

You need to use a different set of ports for the gmx setup.

That did it. =-) I have changed the configuration and it's working perfectly.

I did not see the need to do this (maybe not read the manual often enough) but as the log file did not indicate any problems ...

LOG5[1796:1960]: Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf LOG5[1796:1960]: FIPS mode is enabled LOG5[1796:1960]: Configuration successful

... I guessed it was something more complex.

It would be nice if stunnel had the capability of showing (via the log file) an essential configuration mistake such as two POP3, SMTP or IMAP servers listening on the same ports.

Once again, thanks for your input.

Cheers,

CIV

PD: I am able to download mail from gmx.net serves via POP3 using Pegasus Mail and stunnel with no problems whatsoever. Sending mail requires the use of the POP3 userID/PW.
