In practice, though, I haven’t obtained clear-cut results. Now, the remaining clients (the various Mail modules of Netscape/Mozilla/Classilla, Eudora 6.1.1, Outlook Express 5.02 and PowerMail 4.2.1) all explicitly support SSL connections and theoretically they should all work with a POP Gmail account.
#STUNNEL FOR MAC OS UPDATE#
In the following days I’ll try to figure out what the problem is, and I will update this post in case I manage to test the software and have a definitive answer. For mysterious reasons, however, in my test MacSOUP just kept crashing and I couldn’t even try it.

You may find odd that I included MacSOUP in the bunch, because it’s usually considered one of the best ne wsreaders for Mac OS, but actually it can also handle email. Green Mail, Mailsmith 1.1.8 and Nisus Email 1.6.1 let me specify that both POP and SMTP servers require authentication with a password, and Green Mail and Mailsmith even let me override the default POP and SMTP ports (usually 110 and 25 respectively) with the correct ports needed by Gmail, but the result for all these three clients is that when connecting they either hang or the connection times out. Then there are other email clients which were sort of grey areas during setup. Claris Emailer and Eudora Light, for example.

The system I used for my tests is a Power Macintosh 9500/132, with 272MB RAM, a 4GB hard drive (with more than 2GB free), with Mac OS 9.1 installed and the base extensions set enabled.įor starters, the mere fact that Gmail requires SSL authentication for both POP and STMP connections leaves some of these clients out, because they simply do not support it.

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server – requires TLS or SSL Incoming Mail (POP3) Server – requires SSL According to the Gmail Help page Configuring other mail clients, the general POP settings are as follows: Since I already knew that some of these clients aren’t able to handle IMAP accounts, I only tried to set up a Gmail POP account. So if you have it laying around in some old hard drive or included in some old software CD-ROM, fine.) (My copy was graciously given to me by Mr Rich Siegel of Bare Bones Software, but I think it’s not cool to pester him. Microsoft Outlook Express 5.02 should be bundled in Mac OS 9, while Mailsmith 1.1.x will be harder to find.
#STUNNEL FOR MAC OS DOWNLOAD#
The website of the developer of Green Mail 1.0b13 has disappeared, but you can still download Green Mail from this page thanks to. Eudora, Eudora Light, MacSOUP, Nisus Email and PowerMail 4.2.1 can be downloaded from the email section of The Mac Orchard (a great reference site for Mac software, and one of the oldest, being online since 1995). You can download Classilla from its homepage. Netscape Mail module inside Netscape 7.0.2Īll releases of Netscape browsers are at the Netscape Archive.Netscape Mail module inside Netscape 6.2.3.Netscape Messenger (inside Netscape Communicator) 4.8.Classilla Mail module inside Classilla 9.1.This is the list of clients I have tried so far (in alphabetical order): I hunted, downloaded and installed as many decent classic Mac email clients as I could and tried to configure a Gmail account in all of them. Towards the end of last week, I decided to do a casual experiment. Unless you want to retrieve and manage your Gmail account(s), that is.
Email is generally more manageable in a classic Mac OS environment, and gives much fewer headaches than Web browsing today. (This very blog renders correctly in the latest version of Classilla - 9.1 at the time of writing).īut this post is about email and email clients. A notable exception is Classilla, currently under development and the only chance to have modern webpages display in a viewable, readable, usable manner for those who still use Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2. There are always tradeoffs, especially in this territory, since the choices you have are limited to browser versions which are no longer supported. Usually, those who want to try to browse around a bit will find that a combination of old browsers is mandatory, because sometimes iCab 2.99 renders a webpage less poorly than, say, Netscape Navigator 4.8 or Opera 5 handles some CSS more gracefully than Internet Explorer 5. The Web browsing is the trickiest part, because it has changed a lot in these last ten years: standards, technologies, security, plug-in management and the like. The two main problems for the classic Mac OS geeks who still want to use their vintage Macs on a daily basis are browsing the Web and doing email.
