Help Protect Your E-mail with SSL

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol that helps ensure the privacy of documents transmitted over the Internet, including email messages. Once activated, SSL encrypts your incoming messages, ensuring that passwords and other private information can not be intercepted in transit.
Activating SSL in Pine is quick and easy, and CNS strongly recommends (and soon will require) that you do so as soon as possible.

After Pine is installed, run the program.
If this is the first time you are setting it up, the installer will give you a chance to import your existing account settings from other e-mail client programs such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook or other e-mail programs it finds on your PC. We suggest you to select "Don't import anything" option and click "Next" to proceed.

  2. Ensure there is a checkmark beside Check for new messages at startup.

  3. Then make sure there is a checkmark beside Check for new messages every 15 minutes. The preference to check for new messages should be set to 15 minutes or more but not less.
    • When Pine is used with UTORmail, you will receive notification of new messages very soon after it is delivered to your INBOX. This option will not make such notification any faster or slower. However, when there is a network or post office failure, this option determines how often Pine will try to reconnect.

  4. In the pull-down menu beside When I delete a message, choose Mark it as deleted.

  5. Check Clean up (“Expunge”) Inbox on Exit.
    • This causes your deleted messages to be expunged--so they can no longer be undeleted and no longer take up space at the post office--whenever you exit Pine. We recommend this option to make better use of shared University resources.

  6. Check Empty Trash on Exit.

Next click on the Advanced… button to make the following changes.
