MW for Linux SSL connections
After extensive searching and no answer, can someone help me? I am a Linux user and unfortunately unable to use updated versions of MW. However, I have been using an old Linux version since 2009, and it does the job. 3 days ago, my Hotmail and Yahoo accounts have stopped working in MW. Error message: Cannot establish SSL connection. No settings have been changed, so it is all correct, as of 3 days ago. Pop is enabled. What has changed? I will be very sad if I can't use MW. The accounts that don't have SSL ticked still work. Any insight? Thanks a lot.

At a quick guess, the SSL version in that build of MailWasher is too old, SSLv3 has some security problems and it's possible it's being blocked now.
I don't have a Linux OS available right now, I'll ask around and see if the problem accessing accounts with those providers is happening to others.
Is running MW 6 under Wine an option ?
Cheers

Thank you so much for your answer. I never had success trying MW with wine. I suppose I could try it again and see what happens. MW simply makes emailing so much easier to manage. But of course, you know that! Thanks again.

I may be wrong, but I have a gut feeling MW 6.5.4 may have some difficulties in Wine.
