SSL and TLS are very similar beasts.  Most TLS stuff is actually SSL
behind the scenes, so any TLS stuff would most likely log in SSL
locations.

As to Dovecot, I think it negotiates the "safest" connection it can.  If
it can negotiate an SSL/TLS session with the client, it does so.  It may
be that Squirrelmail does as well.  It's been a long time since I really
dug into that stuff.  I only had a cursory glance as Squirrelmail way
back...I had already deployed Horde/IMP/Turba/Kronolith for our webmail
clients using UWIMAP servers (before Dovecot appeared).  No reason to
change things.

Being the poster child would be irrelevant to whether I had offspring.
The fact I had parents (rather than being a pod person) would be the
determining factor.  Thhhpt! :-p

Jeeze!  Either you didn't quite figure out just what causes "children",
or you're trying to repopulate the planet with your DNA.  Either reason
is bloody scary!  :-)

Q: What do you call Catholics that practice the rhythm method?
A: "Parents"
