Issue/Introduction

After recently implementing improved security for mail servers, which involved disabling security Protocol TLS 1.0 and enabling TLS 1.2 on the mail server, the IMAP components that connect the Workflow process to the mail server were failing.  This ended up affecting Servicedesk as well as the SD.EmailMonitor application uses both the IMAP and POP3 components for capturing email-based information  Quiksoft.EasyMail.SSL.SSLConnectionException: Error connecting to server. SERVERNAME ---> Quiksoft.EasyMail.SSL.SSLConnectionException: Error performing Handshake.

Environment

Servicedesk and Workflow 8.x 

Cause

Defect in the Quiksoft Mail Component library.

Resolution

A revised set of components using a library that supports TLS 1.2 has been produced.  This is found in a 8.1 pointfix and the upcoming 8.5 release.

For the 8.1 pointfix build, please see:
