IMAP- Netscape Messenger 7.02 (Macintosh)
UGAMail
------------------------

SSL is a security option for use with the UGAMail system, and we encourage you to use SSL whenever possible. However, problems are being reported with inbound SSL (most notably when automatically copying mail to the Sent Folder). If you experience any problems when sending mail, try disabling the inbound SSL setting.

If you would like to read your email mail with Netscape 7.x, you will need to follow these instructions to configure it properly.
