Well, the problem is probably that the SSL cert is issued for the FQDN of your machine, whereas you try to connect to it as "localhost". What happens if you use the same full hostname in the IMAP URL as the one that is in the SSL certificate? > Also, I tried to set $ssl_ca_certificates_file and keep getting the "Unknown > Variable" error message when I start mutt, but I have recompiled mutt a few > times now to make sure ssl support is compiled in but it does not help.

Well, it seems that SSL support is compiled into mutt, so you will have to look for problems elsewhere. Maybe if you can turn up verbosity for mutt and post the results of running the problematic test case along with the relevant parts of your .muttrc, that may give someone some clues. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest Hungary
