 To add a new service press the **Add POP3 Server** or **Add SMTP Server** at the bottom of the **Services -> General** page in the VPOP3 settings.
+=====Encrypting Webmail/Admin=====
+Once you have installed the certificate as above, go to **Services -> Webmail Server -> General**
+{{:how_to:webmailssl.png?nolink&|}}
+Set ''Encryption'' to ''SSL'' or ''Auto-Detect''
+  * If you set it to ''SSL'' then VPOP3 will force the connection to use SSL ('https'). If a non-encrypted session is attempted to the webmail port, then VPOP3 will automatically redirect it to a 'https:' connection.
+  * If you set it to ''Auto-Detect'' then VPOP3 will allow either SSL or non-encrypted connections (on the same port)
+Note that you can change the port to 443 to allow simpler connections (as in the screenshot above) - but only as long as there are no other https servers on the same IP address as the VPOP3 webmail service.
+Note that if you use the ''SSL'' setting, the built-in redirection only works from the webmail port. So, if you have the port set to 443, then going to
+''http://<server>''  will not automatically redirect to ''https://<server>'', because http uses port 80, and https uses port 443. If you want this redirection (which can be useful) you will need to configure a suitable redirection in another web server (eg IIS). If you have your [[http://www.pscs.co.uk/products/vpop3host/index.php|VPOP3 server hosted with us]], then we will have set that redirection up for you already.
