Hi, guys. How can I check the TLS version of an e-mail account in pop/imap with SSL enabled?

I downloaded the XML in the account page and it shows some information about TLS 1.2 but I am not sure if this is true:

Email Account  
pxCustom  
TLSv1.2

Embed-EmailProtocol-Sender-SMTP TLSv1.2

Can someone help me?

@GabrielM16837471 this does not seem to be pega-specific. Does a [Google search](https://www.google.com/search?q=How+can+I+check+the+TLS+version+of+an+e-mail+account+in+pop%2Fimap+with+SSL+enabled%3F&sca_esv=d690447d4819ce9a&sxsrf=ACQVn08ObSn7OWavrKqwmJOHQjAfCx6uLg%3A1709568922153&source=hp&ei=mvPlZb-fB86FhbIPxtW0sAI&iflsig=ANes7DEAAAAAZeYBqh8Hu_EUNNbrrZ_BCWC_oIBGsIF_&ved=0ahUKEwi_1MnCgNuEAxXOQkEAHcYqDSYQ4dUDCBc&uact=5&oq=How+can+I+check+the+TLS+version+of+an+e-mail+account+in+pop%2Fimap+with+SSL+enabled%3F&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IlJIb3cgY2FuIEkgY2hlY2sgdGhlIFRMUyB2ZXJzaW9uIG9mIGFuIGUtbWFpbCBhY2NvdW50IGluIHBvcC9pbWFwIHdpdGggU1NMIGVuYWJsZWQ_MgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnMgcQIxjqAhgnSNEIUOICWOICcAF4AJABAJgBAKABAKoBALgBA8gBAPgBAvgBAZgCAaACB6gCCpgDB5IHATE&sclient=gws-wiz) not provide the info you need?

The XML you downloaded from the email account page in Pega does show the TLS version being used. The tag indicates the version of the TLS protocol being used for the connection. If it shows TLSv1.2, it means that TLS version 1.2 is being used for the connection. If you have SSL enabled and your email server supports TLS 1.2, then this should be accurate.

Hi @GabrielM16837471 - You can use OpenSSL to verify this. Run this command for e.g.

```auto
openssl s_client -connect imap.gmail.com:993 -servername imap.gmail.com

```

`(*For` POP3S use port 995).

When you run this command, OpenSSL will output a lot of information about the SSL/TLS handshake. Look for a line starting with **`Protocol`** or **`SSL-Session`** that indicates the TLS version.

@MarijeSchillern, Hi.

Maybe I wasnt`t very clear in my question. I would like to know which version pega supports and it`s using in this e-mail account.

This helped me. Thank you.
