worksforme. you _have_ checked the "use secure connection" checkbox for the server in question, right?

Yes I have. "Use secure connection", to port 993 (default). And for that server (I have two imap servers, one with SSL, and one without).

Works For Me - Linux 2.4.4 - Build 2001050808 I'm using Cyrus IMAPd 1.5.19 with stunnel 3.14.

I have the same problem using the windows build (for 0.9, same imaps server).

Does not work for me and hasn't worked for a while.... build 2001051813 under 2.2.19. Same error message. I've tried 2 different IMAP, both of which I can telnet to on port 993. IMAP/SSL worked fine under NS4.76.

Fails to work on win32-installer-sea.exe (build 2001052304). It does not connect (but has a busy progress bar). I checked maillog stats and no activity. IMAP without SSL works correctly. It last worked correctly for me using win32-installer.exe (Build 2001051804) I haven't checked the builds in between.

FYI, it last worked in Win32 for win32-installer-sea.exe Build 2001052204 from what I've gathered... It may not be just a Linux build problem. But, then again,these failures could be unrelated...

Marking NEW.

I also get the message "cannot connect to server" when trying to use an imap server using SSL. This is true for two different imap servers who are supposed to support imap with ssl. I used the installer of the 0.9 Windows Release. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505 Johannes

Hi, I just tested it again with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607 and it seems to work fine - at least after I deleted the existing Imap account and redefined it! Thanks for fixing it! Johannes

great!

huh... not so fast. running rh-7.1, downloaded and installed 0.9.1 rpms (main, mail, psm), deleted ~/.mozilla, created new profile, recreated imap server, press cancel on [non-ssl] access, configure server to use ssl (port 993, default), try to access: you get the certificate window, then accept, then you get a core dump. another time i got the previous error (can't connect), but now i get mostly core dumps. i had the same problem with build 2001060511. (i'll test it under windows tomorrow) (imho this is a serious showstopper and should perhaps be raised priority, because this prevents those unwilling to use non-encrypted imap mail over the internet from testing the mail module, and it has been broken for quite a while)

verified, i've got the same problem under win2k using 0.9.1. dumps core.

It works for me using Cyrus 2.0.13 with 0.9.1 (2001061114) built from the rednat 7.x source rpms on a mandrake 8.0 system, however it didn't work for me under 0.9 or any previous builds. Would be nice if the little secure lock icon showed up next to the mail server without closing mail and reopening it, but thats being kinda picky.

Nope, I lied. Seems to be a problem with it not asking for a password when SSL is used. It was working, I closed and reopened mozilla, and now it connection refused when I open mail WITHOUT asking me for a password even though I have it set to ask and not save it (which it does properly with unsecure imap)

Not sure if this is related, but... - Using Mozilla v0.9.1 as shipped with Ximian Gnome. - Configured an SSL IMAP server (Courier-IMAP+SSL) using a self-signed cert, successfully connected to it and browsed IMAP folder. - Changed SSL certificate on Courier-IMAP+SSL server to a different self signed cert. - From this point on Mozilla complained "could not connect to server". - Solution: Delete old self signed cert from the cert manager. The next SSL-IMAP connection worked fine after asking the "do you want to trust this cert" question.

I'm not sure if this is *directly* related to this bug, but its the closest I could find - if you folks think it should filed separately, just let me know. Two things: 1) from reading the last few comments, it appears that IMAP/SSL has some issues w/ Mozilla - I'm running Moz 0.9.4 / FizillaCFM and connecting to a Courier-IMAP + stunnel server using a Thawte signed cert and all works fine. 2) However, I can't seem to (a) view any of the information for the secure connection (b) nor is the lock 'locked' in the lower right hand corner of the screen. I have Mozilla's preferences set to use a secure connection (port 993) and it *seems* to be doing just that ... hard to verify, though. The reason (2) occurred to me is that I just renewed the SSL cert via Thawte and updated the PEM file on the server - I thought I'd be able to view the updated expiration date via Mozilla, but I haven't been able to find any means of doing this.

I have this bug with 0.9.5 under Solaris 8 sparc. With SSL enabled for imap, it does nothing. A tcpdump of the network shows no packets going out on port 993. If I flip back to insecure mode, it works. However, when I go back to secure mode again, it continues to use the insecure connection, port 143, until I restart mozilla.

About laetst 0.9.5 IMAP over SSL: It works for me with 0.9.5 under windows, "sometimes". When it fails, if I click on a different folder, then it connects, then I can switch back to my inbox folder and sometimes it works. Most of the time I think it times out, it is insanely slow for IMAP over SSL. I mostly still use ns-4.x, which is quite fast with the very same server.

Ssl (https) doesn't work at all on my Solaris workstation (Mozilla 0.9.5)! Did anybody else notice this?

I too have this bug, but it seems even more severe for me, I'm totally unable to get my mail with 0.9.5 since as soon as I try to open the mail window, it attempts to connect to the secure IMAP server and promptly coredumps. The message it gives is: /usr/local/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh: line 72: 28910 Segmentation Fault (core dumped) $prog ${1+"$@"} Seems prety serious to me.this is on a linux intel box. -Ryan

IMAP over SSL is broken in Mac OS X as well. Everytime I try to access an IMAP server over SSL with version of Mozilla greater than 0.9.5, nothing seems to happen, I click stop, try getting new mail and I get a message saying "An unknown SSL error occurred (-122227)." Then I get the "Could not connect to the mail server; the connection was refused." error message.

This is still broken, at least for certain servers, it appears. I told mozilla to log, using: D:\WINDOWS>Set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:5 D:\WINDOWS>Set NSPR_LOG_FILE=c:\tmp\log.txt .96 only gives me two lines- 1668[2656f58]: mail-c.oit.umass.edu:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: (null) 1472[278ec98]: mail-c.oit.umass.edu:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: (null) Where .95, with the same settings, gives me- 180[26f04f0]: mail-c.oit.umass.edu:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * OK mail-1.oit.umass.edu Cyrus IMAP4 v1.5.24 server ready 180[26f04f0]: mail-c.oit.umass.edu:NA:SendData: 1 capability 180[26f04f0]: mail-c.oit.umass.edu:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS X-NON-HIERARCHICAL-RENAME NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT 180[26f04f0]: mail-c.oit.umass.edu:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 1 OK Completed 180[26f04f0]: mail-c.oit.umass.edu:NA:SendData: Logging suppressed for this command (it probably contained authentication information) 180[26f04f0]: mail-c.oit.umass.edu:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 2 OK User logged in At the time I try to connect with .96 or higher, my school's server logs record a I'm just guessing : "PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line "

I continue to have this problem in 0.9.8+ (Build ID: 2002012623) under RedHat 7.2. In 0.9.4, I could work around the problem: If I stopped Mail from trying to connect, then clicked the "Get Messages" button, it would ask for my password correctly, and proceed to connect. In my 0.9.8+, this workaround no longer works: IMAP without SSL connects fine, IMAP with SSL appears to be trying to connect without success or error message interminably.

Any ideas on where to start hunting this one? It's a showstopper for me. imap/ssl works on one of my RH7.2 boxes, but not the other.

Might this be SOCKS related? FAILS: 0.9.9+ => socks5 proxy => imap/ssl server WORKS: 0.9.9+ => ssh tunnel => socks5 proxy => imap/ssl server Same browser version, same imap server, same source/destination machines. (I also did some poking around with SSLTRACE and SSLDEBUG, it looks like the socket is getting closed prematurely in the failure case.)

Verified.
