I found this on the fastmail web site:

#    I use SSL IMAP/POP and get 'certificate errors'. How do I fix this?

Change your IMAP/POP server name from fastmail.fm to www.fastmail.fm

I'll try that. I am not familiar with SSL.

I think the TO: [email protected]
will probably do just fine, but I'll look, once I get that account
working in claws.

not exactly what I said. I said the directory was STILL THERE, even
after I uninstalled sylpheed. I removed the files & directories, since i
had had a problem with that one account. I reinstalled sylpheed, which
put that dirtectory back.

I'll try to remember that, thanks!
