POP before SMTP

[magic_one]

Hi folks,

i got a problem with the pop-before-smtp-method. my new provider forces me to use this authentication an to use ssl.

first of all - where in the preferences can i turn on the pop-before-smtp authentication?

second problem: after starting mozilla, the mail client automatically starts receiving new mails. normally it use to ask me to accept the certificate for the ssl-connection. but it doesnt. i even don't get any new mails from all other accounts which are not using ssl. i have to close mozilla and start it again. the the dialog box for accepting the certificate appers.

i use Mozilla 1.5 on Mac OS X 10.3(panther).

i hope anyone can help me.

regards,
