 There are several ways to [[create an SSL certificate|create a certificate]].
-Once you have one, put the private key PEM file into the VPOP3 directory as **vpop3sslk.pem** and the certificate PEM file into the VPOP3 directory as **vpop3sslc.pem**. Then, restart VPOP3 for it to detect the files.
+Once you have one:
+  * if you are using VPOP3 Enterprise v6.8 or later, go to Services -> General -> SSL Settings in the VPOP3 settings, and copy/paste the certificate PEM file text (and any required intermediate certificates) into the **SSL Certificate Chain** box, and the private key PEM file text into the **SSL Private Key** box, and restart VPOP3
+  * if you are using VPOP3 Enterprise v2.6 to v6.7, put the private key PEM file into the VPOP3 directory as **vpop3sslk.pem** and the certificate PEM file into the VPOP3 directory as **vpop3sslc.pem**. Then, restart VPOP3 for it to detect the files.

 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.

+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.
