This looks strange. Is this a kind of POP/IMAP before SMTP auth? If an IMAP connection from pine to an ISP server isn't active, you are unable to send from pine too? Probably, mutt closes IMAP before connecting by SMTP? > But, depending on what port I specify in > smtp_url, I can either get an instant > "connection refused", or, after about ten > minutes, "gnutls_handshake: A TLS packet with > unexpected length was received." How does pine do it? By plaintext SMTP? TLS? SSL? Which port does it use? Probably you can try tcpdump to see what pine is doing and try to replicate it with mutt. I'm sure you can easily hit the same ports and the same plain/TLS/SSL settings with .muttrc, but WRT IMAP-before-SMTP I'm not that sure. -- With best regards, xrgtn
