 SecurityAllowed 1 Security/SLL is allowed, but not required.
 SecurityRequired 2 Security is required.
 SecurityImplicit 3 Implicit security through SSL wrapper.
Remarks

This property defines if wodPop3 will require SSL encryption to be used when it tries to access messages. You should set it to one of constants defined in Pop3SecurityEnum. It defaults to SecurityNone since most mail servers don't require SSL encryption.

When set to SecurityAllowed, then wodPop3 will try to negotiate SSL using STLS command, but will not require SSL for accessing the server.

If SecurityRequired is chosen, wodPop3 will not connect unless STLS command succeeds.

If SecurityImplicit is chosen, wodPop3 will negotiate SSL connection even before any (message specific) data is sent through the socket. Usually, server should be running on port 995 when this type is selected.

If your server requires client-side authentication with a certificate, make sure Certificate property is set.



Note: changing this property will also affect Port property. If you set Security = SecurityImplicit, wodPop3 will set Port = 995. Otherwise, it will set Port = 110.
