Using POPFile with Secure Password Authentication

Head to the web interface's Security tab, and enter the server name and port of your Secure Password Authentication-protected server. Once done, you simply need to change the server name in your mail program to 127.0.0.1 - you don't need to change the username.

Unfortunately, you can currently only have one SPA account through each installation of POPFile.

A note about MSN Secure Password Authentication

  1. You have to start popfile with the following command (type it in exactly)
    perl popfile.pl -port 110 -server pop3.email.msn.com -sport 110
  2. On your accounts, server page, make sure you have the following information:

    Incoming mail server: 127.0.0.1
    Account name: YOUR_MSN_ACCOUNT_NAME_ONLY

    Make sure that "Log on using Secure Password authentication" is checked

    On the Advanced tab, make sure that your incoming mail port is set to 110 and the "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" is UNCHECKED.

  3. You should be able to check your mail now by clicking on the account name in the "Mail Icon drop down".
