Pegasus Mail Settings

Seem to be no posts about Pegasus Mail settings following the security changes at the end of February 2023.

The settings that have worked for me are in the screen shots in the attachment.

Not sure that the SMTP authentication option is still needed. I haven’t tried removing this.

If a rejected send has error Authentication Credentials Invalid (TT300) then it is the fourth box that you need.

Using server port 110 for mail still seems to work. I haven’t tried changing it to 993.

Moderator note: Confused account setup suggestion!
NB
Port 110 is POP3 insecure Port 995 is POP3 secure
Port 143 is IMAP insecure Port 993 is IMAP secure

I suggest you remove your attachment and redact the email address before adding. For your security and to prevent spam.

The incoming POP3 mail server will support the POP3 STLS command but that starts off an insecure session via Port 110 and therefore there is still the same risk that mail can be intercepted prior to going secure or if the secure negotiation fails.

So, use port 995 and start the session securely using SSL/TLS implicit TLS security via Direct SSL connect.

Outgoing mail does require authentication by plain password so use Login to the SMTP server using the following details: Username - full pipex email address and Password - pipex email password.

Excellent and good to know that the recommended POP3 secure settings work well with Pegasus Mail. Thanks very much for testing those as it'll be useful for others.
