By re-doing my certificates, I was able to get pine to work, although it
does act a little curiously, wanting me to give my 'maria at smpt's' password
while giving me information about the certificate at the same time. I
input my password and then it goes on to the normal login, where I input
my password again, and then I can check my mail. I think I don't really
care about this, at least for now, but it does seem to imply that the
problem with the port is a separate problem from the apparent(ly now
fixed) certificates problem.
Still looking for troubleshooting ideas to figure out the listening on
port 993 problem.
cheers,
maria
