Netscape 6.2 mail and SSL

[Okey Moronu]

I have been using Netscape for a log time to access my IMAP e-mail 
account. Just 2 days ago, I (5 Feb., 2002), I consistently got Login 
failed. This happened on both my Linux box and Windows box.  I setup 
Outlook express to access the mail and I got the same problem. But when 
I turned on SSL authentication in outlook, bingo, I was in.  So back to 
Nestcape, I made sure that SSL was turned on but still got the same 
error.  Does any one know why this is so.
