<![CDATA[TLS vs STARTTLS // SPARK]]>I'm trying to connect to email from Spark (mac mail client)

It was working and then stopped on 19th May. Now I can't get it to connect at at all. Rainloop works.

Spark says 'A stable connection to the server could not be established.'

Incoming mail only lets me use "SSL" or "starttls" but your instuctions want TLS for inbound. Is that very strict? Which mail clients work that way?

(Alternatively, and I know this is contentious.., are there ANY ways I can connect into gmail? I really really would like that.)

Turned it off, and bingo: works a treat.

Filling the mail sever manually to "my.xxx" makes it work.
