Thanks, Daniel. I compiiled it with SSL (and without gnutls) and it's
working great now.

FWIW, I found some scattered information online that people have been
having problems for a long time with Mutt from the Debian repos. Seems
like Debian compiles for gnutls and not openSSL due to licensing
reasons, but also that some providers' SSL/TLS implementation doesn't
play well with gnutls. One thing that stumped me, though, and that I
didn't find online, was that I needed to install libssl-dev. I had
gotten compile errors without it saying that it couldn't find the
shared openssl libraries, even if I added in the path; installing
libssl-dev solved that.

Best regards,
Rick
