Does anyone know if any of the IMAP servers in Debian support SSL (the
imaps: protocol) and if so where I can look for docs on how to configure
it?
Thanks,

Dumb question - could anyone give me an "idiots walk-through" of
installing LAME? It's probably somewhere simple, but all the stuff about
"LAME won't even compile by itself" on the web page put me off. And of
course there's no package for it...
