Go to Setup (S), Collection Lists (L), Add Cltn (A), then put in
"your.ballistichelmet.org" for the Server (I put in
"your.ballistichelmet.org/user=ahawley" since my username is different
from my zoo netid, which you may also need to do to get it to ask you your
password, but maybe not).  put in mail/ or Mail/ for the Path, then
exit/save (^X), then Exit Setup (E), then List Folders (L) then choose
your new collection and see if you authenticate.
