SMTPS (deprecated)

In 8.4, I can see in SMTP Settings that the SMTPS box has something written after it, off the screen. In HAL, it is named "SMTPS (deprecated)". What is the reason for it being deprecated, and if it is, why not just remove it from the screen?

I will look into this for you and get back as soon as I can regarding the reason the SMTPS checkbox is not recommended.

Kind Regards,

Hi Paul,

My apologies for the delayed response.

It is not going to be removed as some customers are still using it and if we removed it we would have to reconfigure. SMTPS was a lot simpler to do than STARTTLS, so we did it first many years ago.

Kind Regards,
