GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 342001
e-d-s 1.7.2 breaks STLS support
Last modified: 2013-09-14 16:49:12 UTC
After upgrading from e-d-s 1.7.1 to 1.7.2, evolution cannot access my gmx mail account. The error is this: Failed to connect to POP server pop.gmx.net in secure mode: STLS not supported During compilation of e-d-s, both mozilla-nspr and mozilla-nss were detected correctly. Downgrading e-d-s makes the problem disappear. This is on Mandriva Cooker with gnome 2.15 from gpwgnome.osknowledge.org
I'm seing that with another POP3 server as well.
this means your server doesn't support TLS (the error that Evolution gives for when it isn't built with TLS support says something different) anyways, I've made the error message more clear in CVS so resolving FIXED.
But why can one use TLS with version 1.7.1 but not with 1.7.2? The server doesn't change its behaviour and 1.7.1 accepts TLS, just 1.7.2 does not.
michael: because of bug 321797 comment 38, i guess.
indeed.
