SSL is not necessary when DavMail is used in workstation mode, as communication between clients and + DavMail remain local. However, in server (shared) mode e.g. with a smartphone connecting to DavMail over + the internet, you should make sure encryption is enabled. +

+ +

The simplest way to secure communication between mail/calendar clients and DavMail is to create a + self signed certificate: +

+ + + + +

Then add this keystore to DavMail settings: +

+ + +

Restart DavMail, all DavMail listeners will switch to secure mode. You will also need to enable SSL in + client applications and manually accept the certificate as it's not signed by a trusted + Certification Authority. +
