('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) In-Reply-To: <3E5F651E.35B09C5Dat_private> >It seems that I'm one of the last Netscape 4.x users. >The following paste shows the IMAP mail part of this configuration file. >You can see that the line 17 shows the unencrypted password Netscape 4.x is out of date - we recommend that everyone upgrade to our latest version, Netscape 7.02. In versions 6.1 and later, when the user chooses to store a password, it is saved by default in Base64-encoded format, but not encrypted. The user can choose to encrypt all stored passwords with a "master password" which acts as the key for a strong encryption algorithm (3DES or AES, I think). To turn on the strong encryption, choose Preferences from the Edit menu. Open the "Privacy & Security" tab, click "Passwords," and check the box labeled "use encryption when storing sensitive data." -Mitch Stoltz Netscape Client Security & Privacy
