Description Marcel Bosling 2012-10-23 09:27:33 UTC 
The mailserver I am using (mailbox.rwth-aachen.de) uses IMAPS on port 993 with TLSv1 for encryption. KMail2 is unable to connect to that mailbox as it may not correctly set the SSL/TLS version (just my guess).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create account with IMPAS for mailbox.rwth-aachen.de on port 993 with SSL/TLS.
Actual Results:  
The server is offline.


Expected Results:  
The mailbox should work out-of-the-box.

Checking with "openssl s_client -connect mailbox.rwth-aachen.de -tls1" results in being able to connect via openssl. So the connection could be established if KMail2 would use (would be forced to use) TLSv1.
Comment 1 Marcel Bosling 2012-10-23 09:29:24 UTC 
For openssl use:
"openssl s_client -connect mailbox.rwth-aachen.de:993 -tls1"
Comment 2 S. Burmeister 2012-11-02 10:30:21 UTC 
See bug 306964. Currently it is only possible to work around this by using a different openSSL version or not using security.
Comment 3 S. Burmeister 2012-11-02 16:55:39 UTC 
You can report to your IT-department that their server is buggy. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782309#c3

"The bug with IMAP happens because the server is to old and does not understand
the TLS1.2 ClientHello (actually a server bug)"

They have to update their server report the bug to SUN respectively.
Comment 4 Kevin Ottens 2013-11-16 07:26:03 UTC 
The IMAP resource has a new maintainer, reassigning to him.
Comment 5 Stefan Brüns 2013-11-24 19:31:32 UTC 
This bug was fixed in 4.9.4, but will likely reappear in 4.11.4
Comment 6 Christian Mollekopf 2013-12-02 11:18:57 UTC 
Please reopen if this is indeed the case.
