The default connection type provided by CM.

When autoconfiguration fails, Claws Mail defaults to the plaintext connection type for email protocols. In "Page index" -> "Advanced", we can see the default ports are 143(IMAP) and 25(SMTP).

CM should default to 993, 995, or 465 in all cases.[Ref. RFC 8314].
Comment 1 Paul 2024-06-27 08:04:15 UTC 
RFC 8314 is only a "proposed standard", not yet a standard.
Comment 2 Paul 2024-06-27 08:07:35 UTC 
You probably also want TLS switched on in the case you describe.
Comment 3 Paul 2025-01-01 13:45:47 UTC 
TLS and SMTP AUTH are now activated by default when creating a new account

Thanks for your effort! Happy for a more secure new year. Cheers!
