  3. Options > New Mailbox
  4. Mailbox Type: IMAP
  5. E-mail: your .mac mail
  6. Incoming server: mail.mac.com
  7. Outgoing server: smtp.mac.com
  8. Access Point, choose Always ask or your preferred one
  9. In Mailbox name keep mac or choose something meaningful to you
  10. Finish
  11. Options > Settings > Email > Mailboxes > Mac
  12. Connection settings
  13. Incoming e-mail
  14. Username: your .mac account user (note - not the e-mail like the gmail config - this is your username)
  15. Password: your password
  16. Back > Outgoing
  17. Username/password as for incoming, security TLS/SSL port 25
  18. Back > Back > User settings
  19. Enter your Name as you want to display
  20. Back > Retrieval Settings
  21. Set a limit if you wish
  22. Set auto retrieve if you wish

Personal server (debian etch):

This is talking to a courier imap with ssl (OpenSSL) and exim4 (GnuTLS)

The settings are all the same as above (replace user, pass and host etc as needed).

For secure IMAP or POP3 - just choose SSL/TLS. Self-generated certificate gives a warning on the phone but you can choose to continue.

NOTE: At present the n95 refuses to talk SSMTP to the exim4 server. Doesn't matter if I use StartTLS, SSL/TLS and whatever port. It just gives a long long wait at Connecting to mailbox 'mailbox name' followed by a General - Operation timed out error message.

I wonder if this is like the SonyEricsson p990i that could talk OpenSSL but not GnuTLS. But nothing is logged on the server at all :(
