> Hi again!

Hi,
I've had no time to try anything as I've been affected by a sudden surge in
workload (things that *have* to be ready before Christmas :-| ). So I'll use
my well deserve relax between Xmas and new year to try things based on your
very useful suggestions.

1 thing to try out (with and without)

Yes I've done that, and in Netscape 7.1 (last time it was 4.7  or 7) this is
the message I get from netscape mail:

Could not establish an encrypted connection because certificate presented by
my.server.name is invalid or corrupted. Error code: -8101

and this is inside le log:
@400000003fde2c5b28503a84 13474 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:] Error initializing
Binc IMAP: SSL negotiation failed: Internal SSL error: error:14094416:SSL
routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert certificate unknown

Obviously there is something wrong with my CA certificate (it has been
accepted and installed by the browser, however)
I will do some more tryals to see what's wrong, I havn't done anything new
(certificates and alike) since last

However I succeded installing Squirrelmail, running it and accessing it, so
what isn't good for Netscape is good for PHP. (However I have som other
problems on that, but first I have to do some homework and only then I might
start a new thread).

thanks for all following suggestions... they are in the queueline :-)

Bye
