Default Fail to set up pop account: SSL connection failure.

In ZD I fail setting up pop accounts. When I click save on the setup screen, I get the message "SSL connection failure. Please check host and port settings.".

Even though I don't have the security option checked. The displayed port is 110. The pop settings work as I can set up the connection wit the same credentials in other e-mail programs. Even tried it with 2 different pop account on two different servers.

Also tried it with ZD on Windows XP SP3 and on Ubuntu 8.10.

When I do click on "security", I get a message to accept the self-signed certificate, after that the message "service.FAILURE: system failure: SMTP connect failure" is displayed. This may be correct behaviour as I'm not sure on wheter the mail server accepts ssl connections on port 995.

But the regular pop connection definitely has to work because it does in other programs...
