 * Hi,
 * Regarding “Send with…” using the “other” option:
 * When choosing the “SMTP” method, you don’t have a “secure connection” option 
   of STARTTLS, hence I cannot use your plugin with my email security hosted service.
   Do you support it somehow? will you support it? if yes – when?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi [@eitanc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eitanc/),
 * StartTLS is a protocol command used to inform the email server that the email
   client wants to upgrade from an insecure connection to a secure one using TLS
   or SSL.
 * We do not have an option named StartTLS, however, we recommend using TLS.

 * Thanks.
 * I know what is STARTTLS and how it works, and I know it is least secure, but 
   for my bad lack – my email cloud service use only this option to send outgoing
   email using it…
 * I will be glad if you will add support for this option.
    I will add it to the
   feedback site.
 * Thanks.
