Support TLS (not just SSLv3)

[Ian Young]

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).

Ubuntu 14.04
Evolution 3.10.4-0ubuntu2

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have the same problem and I also know it to be because Dovecot on my mail server (I run it myself using mailinabox) now has SSL disabled in response to POODLEBLEED.

The error I get is different - though I'm guessing it's just because I'm not using STARTTLS:
The reported error was "Could not connect to 'elm.dhpiggott.net:993': Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).".

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and Evolution 3.10.4-0ubuntu2.

Oops, sorry all, I only just now realised that this is a duplicate of #1382133.
