We now have an SSL-enabled (i.e., encrypted) IMAP server on
mail.cse.nd.edu available for general use.  For anyone using mail.cse
as their mail server, I ***highly*** recomend that you switch to using
SSL-enabled IMAP.

I recomend this for the following reasons:

1. You will use encrypted channels; your AFS password will not be sent "in
   the clear".  This is extremely important these days.

2. You can have *one* set of mail folders (in your AFS space) that is
   globally available, regardless of where you connect from (e.g., a
   laptop that doesn't have AFS, Berkeley, Uganda, etc.).

3. If your mail client supports it, you can have *one* addressbook,
   regardless of where you connect from (e.g, a laptop that doesn't
   have AFS, Berkeley, Lichtenstein, etc.).

I've been using pine/SSL for a months now (on my desktop Sparc, my
latop, and my desktop in at home), and it's absolutely great.

Examples of SSL-enabled IMAP clients:

	Pine (version 4.30 or higher)
	Netscape
	Outlook Express / Outlook

-----

Pine-specific information (this looks long and scary; it really is pretty
easy and painless!):

- To use SSL in Pine (you must use the LSC pine -- version 4.30 or
  4.31), set your inbox to the SSL/IMAP inbox.  Do this from pine's main
  menu:

	S) Setup
	C) Config
	scroll down to "inbox-path"
	C) Change value
	set it to "{mail.cse.nd.edu/ssl/user=YOURAFSID/novalidate-cert}INBOX"
	E) Exit setup
	Y) yes, commit changes

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

- To have IMAP/pine/SSL use the folders that are already in your AFS
  space, do the following from pine's main menu:

	S) Setup
	L) collection List
	A) Add collection

	Nickname:   AFS folders
	Server:     mail.cse.nd.edu/ssl/novalidate-cert
	Path:       ~/mail
        View:       --leave this blank--

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

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

  Once this works, you might wish to go back and delete pine's entry for
  your local folders (since this is now redundant).  From pine's main
  menu:

	S) Setup
	L) collection List
	highlight "AFS folders"
	$) Shuffle
	U) Up
	--> You may need to $/U more than once; make AFS folders the
            first entry
	hilight "Mail / Local folders in mail/"
	D) Delete collection
	Y) Yes, delete it
	E) Exit setup

  NOTE: This doesn't delete your folders!!  It only delete's pine's
        ability to access your folders on the local host.

- To have IMAP/pine/SSL use a single addressbook (this is *really* handy),
  you'll first need to create the following directory (this is a bummer,
  but you'll cope):

	~/mail/Addressbook

  Now go to pine's main menu and do the following:

	S) Setup
	A) Address books
	A) Add personal address book

	Server name: mail.cse.nd.edu/ssl/novalidate-cert
	Folder name: ~/mail/Addressbook/addresses
	Nickname:    AFS addressbook

	Hit Ctrl-X to save this entry.
	Y) Yes, save it
	E) Exit setup

  Now you want to import your current address book to this AFS
  addressbook.  From pine's main menu, do:

	A) Addressbook
	highlight ".addressbook"
	;) select
	A) select All
	A) Apply
	S) Save
	S) Save (yes, again)
	hit Ctrl-N to scroll to the "AFS addressbook", hit Enter

  All your addresses are now saved in the AFS/addressbook that you access
  via SSL/IMAP.  Verify this -- from pine's main menu:

	A) Addressbook
	hilight the "AFS addressbook" and hit enter
	---> All your addresses should be listed

  Now that you have a global addressbook, you may wish to delete the local
  entry that pine has.  From pine's main menu:

	S) Setup
	A) Addressbooks
	select ".addressbook"
	D) Delete
	C) Configuration (just to be safe)
	E) Exit setup

  You should be good to go -- you now have one global addressbook.
