I'm having difficulty using vm to access an IMAP mailbox. The IMAP
server is one I configured myself on a redhat linux box and which is
invoked as an ssl server through stunnel and socket 993. I have no
problem accessing the server and retrieving mail with pine, netscape
mail, and outlook express. I have not been successful with vm. I get
through the login prompt, provide the password, and then receive the
error message:
IMAP protocol error: "unexpected char (10)"
I'm configuring vm for imap with:
vm-stunnel-program "/usr/sbin/stunnel"
vm-stunnel-program-switches '("-c -f")
vm-spool-files '("imap-ssl:mail.curless.org:993:inbox:login:test1:*")
I'm using stunnel 3.13, and the switches tell it to run in the
foreground in client mode. The only other quirk I can think of is
that my certificate is home-baked and not held by a Certificate
Authority. When logging in with outlook express, I get a complaint to
this effect, but login succeeds anyway.
