Setting up Netscape

• Bring up "messenger" under the "communicator" menu bar and "netscape mail and newsgroup" window will pop up;
• Edit preference by selecting "preferences" under "edit";
• Under "Mail and Newsgroups", select "Mail server";
• Click "Add" for "incoming mail server";
• Netscape subwindow with 3 tabs "general", "imap", and "advanced" will pop up;
• Click the "general" tab;
• Enter "imap.fsn.hostforweb.net" for "server name";
• Enter or select "IMAP" for "server type";
• Enter your username;
• We do not recommend that you set the browser to remember your password unless you are using a local hard drive;
• You can change the interval for checking mail (by default 10);
• Under "imap", you can set the browser to move the deleted mail to trash (by default just mark them deleted);
• Under "imap", you must set it to use SSL to connect to server;
• Plus any other customization you like...
• Hint: under "identity", we strongly recommend that you use "yourusername@FSN.hostforweb.net" as your email and reply-to address, please do not reference IMAP.FSN.hostforweb.net.
• Hint: under "mail server", set outgoing smtp server to relay.FSN.hostforweb.net ONLY if you are within the FSN/CS.hostforweb.net domain, if you are outside of these domains, please use an external ISP mail relay server or our authenticated mail relay "gateway.fsn.hostforweb.net". relay.FSN.hostforweb.net will REJECT mail relayed from external sites due to security concerns.
• Hint: under "mail server", select "never" for enabling SSL for outgoing messages, unless you are absolutely sure SSL is enabled ALL the way
• Hint: add "ldap.CS.hostforweb.net" as one of your directory servers by selecting the "address book" menu option under "communicator" menu option, select "new directory" under "file" menu.

Configuring Pine 4.30 with IMAP/SSL.

> To setup your IMAP/SSL inbox do this from Pine's main menu:

	S) Setup
	C) Config
	scroll down to "inbox-path"
	C) Change value
	set it to "{imap.fsn.hostforweb.net/ssl/user=YOURUSERNAME/novalidate-cert}INBOX"
	E) Exit setup
	Y) yes, commit changes

  Now quit Pine and run Pine again.  You'll be prompted for your
  password.  You'll now be accessing your INBOX via IMAP/SSL.

> To have Pine-IMAP/SSL use the folders that are already in your IMAP
  space, you have to create a Pine Collection.  Do the following from
  Pine's main menu:

	S) Setup
	L) Collection List
	A) Add collection

	Nickname:   IMAP folders
	Server:     imap.fsn.hostforweb.net/ssl/novalidate-cert
	Path:       --leave this blank--
        View:       --leave this blank--

	type Ctrl-X to save this entry.
	Y) Yes, save changes
	E) Exit setup

    From Pine's main menu, hit 'L' to list folders.  Select "IMAP folders"
    and hit enter.  You should see all your IMAP folders.

> By default Pine won't read subdirectories from your IMAP folders.
  Configure Pine to view subdirectories, and enable some advanced commands:

	S) Setup
	C) Configure
	Scroll down to "Folder Preferences"
	X) set "enable-lame-list-mode" by typing 'x' 
	Scroll down to "Advanced Command Preferences"
	X) set "enable-aggregate-command-set" by typing 'x' 
	X) set "enable-unix-pipe-cmd" by typing 'x'
	E) Exit Setup
	Y) Yes, Save changes

  Now you can view the subdirectories with the '>' command or view messages
  in that folder with the 'enter' key.  You can also perform some advanced commands
  on your mail messages.

  Note: Pine defines "folders" as containing messages while "directories"
  contain more folders or directories.  So for example you will see a 
  "Saved[/]" entry when you list your folders.  This means that Saved can 
  serve as a folder or a directory, hence "[/]".  So viewing it with ">" 
  (actually just "." works) will show subdirectories and folders, but 
  viewing it with "enter" will show you messages.  If you'd like to view
  separate entries for your folder and directory enable the 
  "separate-folder-and-directory-entries" setting.  


> To have Pine use your local mail resources also, do the following from
  Pine's main menu:

	S) Setup
	L) Collection List
	A) Add collection

	Nickname:   Local folders
	Server:     --leave this blank--
	Path:       Mail/
        View:       --leave this blank--

	hit Ctrl-X to save this entry.
	Y) Yes, save changes
	E) Exit setup

  Note: You can specify any path where mail folders exist, usually the
  default is "Mail/".

  From Pine's main menu, hit "L" to list folders.  Select "Local
  folders" and hit enter.  You should see all your Local folders.

> To copy mail from Local folders to IMAP folders, navigate to a folder
  you'd like to copy from and do the following:

	;) Select Criteria
	A) Select All (Choose your specific selection criteria)
	A) Apply
	S) Save
	^T) Goto Folders
	navigate to your target folder and hit enter twice to complete.

  There are several ways to accomplish this, some harmless experimentation
  with select is a good idea to familiarize yourself with this process.

  Note: Pine's configuration is saved in ~/.pinerc

Configuring Mutt 1.2.5i with IMAP/SSL.

Mutt's configuration takes place in ~/.muttrc.  This means create a
file called ".muttrc" in your home directory.

> Add these lines for IMAP/SSL support:

	set folder={YOURUSERNAME@imap.fsn.hostforweb.net/ssl}
	set spoolfile={YOURUSERNAME@imap.fsn.hostforweb.net/ssl}INBOX

> To make Mutt work sith SSL it needs help with randomness.
  Make a link in your home directory so Mutt can be random.

	ln -s ~/.ssh/random_seed ~/.rnd

Start mutt, accept the certificate and type in your password to start
using mutt with IMAP/SSL.

If you are a new user we recommend using Pine because we find the IMAP
support is better.
