I'm fairly certain that it has to do with accessing the POP3 server when I import tournament summaries. However, if I check the SSL box in the POP3 e-mail setup and click "Test," I get the following error message: "Successfully connected to the mail server but the server certificate could not be validated."
Then when I go to import a summary, I click "Check POP3 e-mail" and first get the following message: "The server security certificate could not be validated, are you sure you want to continue?" After clicking "yes" I get the following message: "There are no hand history transcripts or tournament summaries on your mail server."
I get that message immediately without it scanning each of the messages. Plus I know there is a summary there because I requested one before I tried testing this, and if I go back and uncheck the SSL box in the POP3 setup it imports the summary just fine.
Right now this isn't a problem. I just leave the SSL box unchecked and things work as they have for years. But the e-mail from my ISP is an annoyance, and, more importantly, they may actually follow through on their threat of denying access from unsecure connections, in which case not being able to use SSL with PT2 will be a problem.
I'm on Windows XP and I'm running PT2 with the latest patch.
