[Bug 105736] Re: mutt - TLS packet with unexpected length

I had the same issue. And just recently resolved it.

I have tried to connect mutt to the davmail and in mutt configuration
file just placed the same lines as was in configuration for gmail and I
didn't noticed that they should be different.

So, one of the line was:

set folder = "imaps://localhost:1143" # I just changed
imap.gmail.com:993 to localhost:1143

But it is wrong. Instead of imaps should be imap (without 's' in the
end!)

Good luck!

  mutt - TLS packet with unexpected length

  I use mutt on Feisty (ubuntu). When connecting to gmail using pops,
  mutt connects to the server and asks my password. After I enter it, I
  see the following error message:

  tls_socket_read (A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.)

  
  I googled a bit and saw that it is GNUTLS which causes the problem and rebuilding mutt with openssl solves the problem. Is there any way other than building mutt from source?


  I have replicated this in the most current fiesty version of mutt
  (1.5.13-1ubuntu1).
