AfterOffice mail server now provides STARTTLS support for SMTP on port 587 and SSL/TLS support for IMAP on port 993 and POP3 on port 995.
To enable STARTTLS and SSL on your mail configurations (e.g. Ms Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc), please use the following settings.

Authentication method | Normal |
My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication | YES (with “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”) |

When you made the above switch, you will be prompted a certificate related security warning like the image below.
The warning is displayed due to each secure certificate has to verify against the server name that you connect to. If you connect to mail.yourdomain.com, your mail application will warn you as the certificate belongs to someone else like *.agnx.com. You can safely accept the certificate (by clicking [Yes]) that is coming from agnx.com as it is AfterOffice Global Network Exchange domain.
If you experience any error or issues switching over to the secure ports, please contact us at support@afteroffice.com
