Subject: pine4.21, ssl connection to imap server

Hi all-

I have a server running imaps with Openssl 0.9.6 on
port 993, which is serving its Netscape clients
properly.  It has a self-signed certificate.

To set up Pine on my local host (Solaris 7) to run a
secure connection to this server, I have a line like
this in my .pinerc:

inbox-path={wuf.whatever.com/ssl}INBOX

This doesn't work... I just get "opening inbox" and
a spinning bar forever.  Pine was compiled with the
ssl
patch.

The last few lines of my .pine-debug after running
"pine -d9" are:

 21:39:24.347168
 About to open folder "INBOX"    inbox: "INBOX"

 21:39:24.347883
 busy_alarm(1, Opening "INBOX", 0, 1)

 21:39:24.348688
 q_status_message(Opening "INBOX"     )

 21:39:24.349268
 output_message(Opening "INBOX"     )

 21:39:24.351257
 STATUS cmd:120, max:1, min0

 21:39:24.363004
 IMAP 21:39:24 10/15 mm_log babble: Trying IP address 
  [10.3.0.20]

 21:39:25.350137
 alarm_signal()
...

The alarm signal repeats over and over... what am I
missing?  Do I something akin to a "novalidate-cert"
switch on the inbox-path line?  If I try this line:

inbox-path={wuf.whatever.com/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX

I get the "Can't open inbox invalid remote
specification" message.

Any help will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks Mucho,

I can't help you with pine and SSL, but I can give you a work around. The
most recent version of fetchmail will work perfectly with SSL. So you can
pull your mail in local and then read it with Pine.
