The server supports TLS:
telnet my-kolab.example.com 2000
Trying 217.160.20.101...
Connected to demo2.pardus.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
"IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.3.9-openpkg"
"SASL" "PLAIN"
"SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imapflags notify include envelope body relational regex subaddress copy"
"STARTTLS"
OK
So it depends on the client to implement this but I think Kontact uses
TLS.
Cheers,
Gunnar
