If +.B \-sasl \-saslmech xoauth2 +is used, the HTTP transaction is also shown. +.PP +If +.B nmh +has been compiled with SASL support, the +.B \-sasl +switch will enable +the use of SASL authentication. Depending on the SASL mechanism used, this +may require an additional password prompt from the user (but the +.I netrc +file can be used to store this password, as described in the +mh-profile(5) man page). The +.B \-saslmech +switch can be used to select a particular SASL mechanism. +.PP +If SASL authentication is successful, +.B msgchk +will attempt to negotiate +a security layer for session encryption. Encrypted traffic is labelled +with `(encrypted)' and `(decrypted)' when viewing the POP transaction +with the +.B \-snoop +switch; see the +.B post +man page description of +.B \-snoop +for its other features. +.PP +If +.B nmh +has been compiled with OAuth support, the +.B \-sasl \-saslmech xoauth2 +switch will enable OAuth authentication. The +.B \-user +switch must be used, and the +.I user-name +must be an email address the user has for the service, which must +be specified with the +.B \-authservice +.I service +switch. Before using this, the user must authorize nmh by running +.B mhlogin +and grant authorization to that account. See the +.B mhlogin +man page for more details. +.PP +If +.B nmh +has been compiled with TLS support, the +.B \-initialtls +switch will require the negotiation of TLS when connecting +to the remote POP server. The +.B \-initialtls +switch will negotiate TLS immediately after the connection has taken place, +before any POP commands are sent or received. Data encrypted by TLS is +labeled `(tls-encrypted)' and `(tls-decrypted)` with viewing the POP +transaction with the +.B \-snoop +switch. The +.B \-notls +switch will disable all attempts to negotiate TLS. +.PP +When using TLS the default is to verify the remote certificate and SubjectName +against the local trusted certificate store. This can be controlled by +the +.B \-certverify +and +.B \-nocertverify +switches.
