I use imap over ssl to check my mail on the "gatherer." It is a debian box, and, I must confess that installation/configuration consisted of apt-get imapd-ssl (which removed my non ssl version while maintaining unencrypted logins) and nothing more. I was able to set Outlook on win2k, Evolution on rhat7.2, Kmail on ibookdebian, and mail.app on OSX on a fourth to login securely. I use wireless alot, so, this was my only permitted option. I think it is safe to assume that installation on another distribution is as simple as installing the appropriate package/port for secure imap (provided you have ssl installed). scott
