OLEXP: Secure Connection Change Does Not Take Effect

When you select or clear the "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" check box for the Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP) incoming mail server, the change does not take effect.

This behavior can occur if Outlook Express has not been restarted after making this change.

To resolve this issue, quit and then restart Outlook Express.

To select or clear the "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" check box, follow these steps:

1. In Outlook Express, click Accounts on the Tools menu.
2. Click the Mail tab, and then click the appropriate mail account to select it.
3. Click Properties, and then click the Advanced tab.
4. Click the "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" check box to select or clear it, click OK, and then click Close.
5. Quit and then restart Outlook Express.
