On Tuesday, October 22, CCS will be upgrading the IMAP service to the
most current version on the e-mail postoffice servers.  There will be
a brief, five minute interruption of IMAP service that could cause
newly attempted IMAP connections to fail.  In this case, you should
try reading your mail again in a few minutes.  No other e-mail
services will be affected.

IMAP provides remote mailbox services to mail programs like Pine.
IMAP4, the latest version, contains new features needed to support
additional IMAP-based mail programs.

After the change, people using IMAP-based mail programs, like Pine,
will notice a message in their inbox with the subject:

 DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA

Although you can safely delete it, we advise you to simply leave it in
your folder since IMAP4 will create it again.

If you encounter any problems reading your e-mail using Pine or any
other IMAP-based mail program after the upgrade, please report it to
the CCS Help Desk at extension 55800.
