I talked with Lee on the phone after re-checking copies of Netscape on 2 different PC's on our end. We also had problems using 465 but changing to port 25 worked fine.
Documentation at http://help.msu.edu/mail is being revised back to indicate port 25 for sending mail in Netscape only (465 should still be used for other tested clients as documented).
 
Note: This was only recently changed about a week ago to 465 so existing users should already have their ports set to 25.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Netscape 7.1 mail setup problem

Hello Everybody:

 

I have tried to setup Netscape Browser Mail 7.0 and 7.1 as an email client, and have been unable to do so with mail.msu.edu.  I have tried with several user accounts, and have not been able to successfully send a message, receive works okay.  I have tried this on more than one computer, and have had the same result, it tries forever to send and never does. 

 

We have followed the directions to the word, and are using 465 for the port and SSL connections, have disabled antivirus scan on send and later altogether, and it still will not work.

This email client is listed as compatible on the list, has anybody else had problems with it?
