here is how to test ssl connections: create a file with the following contents: client = yes output = /dev/tty connect = imap.gmail.com:imaps then run: stunnel NAME-OF-FILE you should see a standard imap header come back. if not, then you have something interfering with the imaps traffic. i can get a connection from my system using the above technique. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
