It might not be IMP. I have had several cases of this with our students. They
cannot login. I set them up with an IMAP account using Netscape 7.1 and login
with them once. It usually takes a long time. After that, they can log in using
IMP. I take it there is a problem with the IMAP server and/or cache files that
Netscape deals with.
