Documentation

Transport security type for POP3 connections.

This may be either nil (plain connection), ssl (use an SSL/TSL-secured stream) or starttls (use the starttls mechanism to turn on TLS security after opening the stream). However, if this is nil, ssl is assumed for connections to port
995 (pop3s).

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 23.1.
