Netscape 4.08 can't connect to gmail

Hello.

I am using an emulated mac under OS 7.5.5 on my 68060 amiga using Shapeshifter.

Everything is running fine, except that i can't connect to Gmail with Netscape 4.08 (neither iCab).
I get a message about Netscape not having any common encryption protocol with GMail.

How would it be possible to fix that?

Old browsers from the amiga can connect to GMail flawlessly, why Netscape itself wouldn't?

Thanks for your help.

The gMail compatibility page mentions that the browser you are using is compatible, so long as you have Cookies and Javascript enabled. Thats all i can suggest

Maybe old Netscape was not yet tailored for Google spyware...

You could always try HTML simple Gmail -- it may not be perfect, but it works!
