E-Mail traffic over HTTPS

[I am going through security topics]

At homeform.cpp:10034, the traffic goes over HTTP. Do you have a port supporting HTTPS maybe?

I checked quickly and Qt should take care of the certificate validation automatically.

I remember that android and ios qt must be built with ssl support and I don't remember if it's the case. The problem is also the smtp library.

Https in this case I don't think adds something value since the data is quite useless for a thief?

I don't know what data is being sent over http, but if you use HTTP basic auth for authenticating to your server, these credentials are then sent in clear text for example.

You are right, let me check this

Based on #4598 (comment):

The license is OK to be in clean text since it's simply the user email.

I think we can close this then. I assume adding support for HTTPS on the server is not that simple.
