Hi,

I use VM to read IMAP mail over SSL. Sometimes, for reasons I'm not
quite clear on, the SSL session dies. So I see things like this in my
syslog: 

Apr  9 11:21:09 rapun stunnel[31229]: Using 'imap.hermes.cam.ac.uk.993' as tcpwrapper service name
Apr  9 11:21:09 rapun stunnel[31229]: stunnel 3.22 on i586-pc-linux-gnu PTHREAD+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.6c 21 dec 2001
Apr  9 11:21:09 rapun stunnel[31229]: SSL_connect: Peer suddenly disconnected

This wouldn't be so much of an issue, were it not for the fact that VM
doesn't deal with this very well. Instead of trying to re-open the
connect, it just says:

IMAP connection not open: IMAP over SSL 

...and I end up having to restart. As you can imagine, this is very
annoying.

Regards,

Matthew
