Which TLS versions are supported for email?

We support TLS 1.2 and 1.3.

If your software does not support TLS 1.2 (see below) with PFS ("perfect forward secrecy") and ECDH key exchange, you must either upgrade, use our webmail, or (not recommended) disable encryption (SSL, TLS, STARTTLS) in your email software so that everything is sent as clear text. We recommend upgrading.

NOTE: TLS 1.2 was introduced in 2008. Software/equipment which does not support TLS 1.2 has, to a great extent, very severe security vulnerabilities and should not be used online.

  • MacOS: Sierra (10.12) and newer
  • Windows: 8 and newer

Specific ciphers

The following cipher combinations are supported:

  • TLSv1.2: ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
  • TLSv1.3: TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 TLS_AES_128_CCM_SHA256

DH 2048 key exchange is unsupported.


Multi-function printers (printer-scanners) that do not work

The following models do not support ECDH key exchange, and even when configured to fall back to unencrypted connection, they will not connect.

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw (2014)
  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 (2016)
  • HP PageWide Pro 477dw MFP (2016)
