Is there a definitive method of getting email to work on OS 9?

Cheers :)

The email client in Classilla still works, otherwise the alternative is to use something like STunnel to offload the TLS part.

i dont understand why everyone in this community isnt focussed on coming up with this proxy server  type of workaround to making all modern web content functional somehow.. that would be a huge development dont you think?

STunnel sounds interesting ive only just heard of it by knez's reference

is this the solution? does anyone have this STunnel shit working?

It sure is! I have it up and running on my home network. One STunnel install on a Debian Linux machine that serves as a SSL/TLS proxy for all my old machines so they can send and receive emails.

Video would be a bit too much from my end, but I intend to do a nice write-up with some configuration examples.

I think definitely just attaching the config files would help many that are interested in setting it up on a small box
