Public bug reported: Starting recently, I've been receiving this message when I try to connect to my (previously working) mail account: 'The reported error was "Could not connect to 'mail.messagingengine.com:143': TCP connection reset by peer".'
Due to the timing, I suspect that this is occurring because my mail provider (Fastmail) disabled SSLv3 support due to the POODLE vulnerability. I also found this thread (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1153052) concerning the same issue from Red Hat, so it seems a fix exists but needs to be released in the Ubuntu packages. This is a fairly serious problem, as I am now unable to acccess my mail from Evolution (and if I was able to access it, I would be doing so via a dangerously broken protocol).
