One problem at a time!

Your test was not any good; telnet to an imaps port never works.  You don't
know whether there is a problem with your server installation, with your
Netscape configuration, or both.

The first thing that you have to do is make sure that your server installation
is good.  That is why I suggested using the "s_client" command in the openssl
program (which is bundled with OpenSSL).

Once you get the results from that test, you will know if there is anything
wrong with your server installation.  If there is something wrong with your
server installation, you need to fix that before moving on.

Once you are sure that your server installation is working OK, then try
Netscape.  If it works, you're done.  If not, first try another client (such
as Pine) to verify once more that your server installation is good.  If it
works with Pine, then the problem is in how you have Netscape configured.
