Enable TLS 1.2 Encryption on Windows XP/2008/7/Windows 2008 R2

TLS is the successor of SSL, EAGetMail supports SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 - TLS 1.2 very well. In EAGetMail, ConnectTLS doesn't mean TLS encryption, it means TLS command POP3/IMAP protocol.

You don't have to set any property to enable TLS 1.2 encryption. If your server requires TLS 1.2 encryption, TLS 1.2 encryption is used automatically with ConnectTLS, ConnectSSL and ConnectSSLAuto.

To enable TLS 1.2 on some legacy systems, you need to install the following update/packages:


Windows XP/2003 32bit (x86)


Windows 2008 SP2


Windows 2008 R2/7
