Courier 0.56 has broken SSL support

[Tessa Lau]

Binary package hint: courier-ssl

After upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy Beta, Courier IMAP's SSL support is broken. There is no way to configure it such that both Evolution and Thunderbird are able to connect to it.

This is fixed by the courier 0.57 update, as documented in this bug report here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=442271

IMAP over SSL is basically unusable by many mail clients without this one-line fix. Can we get this update included in the Gutsy release?

Uploaded. Please test and report problems immediately since we are close to release (uploads need to be manually approved, so it may be a bit before this gets released).

Works great (by manually setting TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL23 in the config file, which is not documented there but seems to work). Thanks for getting this in there.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Glad it works.

It's to late to add this to the docs for the Gutsy release, but it'd be REALLY
helpful if you would add a HOW TO for this to wiki.ubuntu.com so people will
know about it.

Thanks for reporting it (and pointing to the patch) so I could get it fixed.

Upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy completely broke SSL on my system :-(((

- Apache SSL b0rked
- Postifx TLS b0rked
- Courier-IMAP-SSL b0rked

* Sh***t * My server is unusable :-(((

(HELP !)

Identical comments on multiple bugs aren't going to get you more help.
