You’re quite right. I did some more investigation here and found this to be a superficial URL formatting bug. As a workaround, you can convince it to really use IMAPS by setting imap.host to imaps://imaps://mail.decadent.org.uk with two ‘imaps://’s! I will send this patch upstream: diff --git a/imap-send.c b/imap-send.c index 0f5f476..adb9738 100644 --- a/imap-send.c +++ b/imap-send.c @@ -1410,6 +1410,7 @@ static CURL *setup_curl(struct imap_server_conf *srvc) curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERNAME, server.user); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PASSWORD, server.pass); + strbuf_addstr(&path, server.use_ssl ?
