Re: mutt and gmail
without full debugging it is not possible to know which component is failing in the chain. it's just that there is a lot of ongoing work on SSL in openbsd, so i thought i might bring it up here as the error message specifically mentioned SSL. This is not an openbsd issue at all. I suffer through using mutt against gmail directly; I guess there is a load balancer up front and backend servers are continually rebooted or taken in and out of service; the client has to reconnect.

Dmitrij D. Czarkoff, 25 Oct 2014 22:21: FWIW I use mbsync (from mail/isync) to sync Gmail to local maildir, and have my mutt set up to work in maildir only. I set up cron to call mbsync on schedule, and I from then I totally forgot about the crappiness of Gmail's IMAP interface. thanks for the tip. i got a couple of other tips off-list, all describing some offline sync, fetchmail and other solutions, which are fine. however mutt is seen as a fine gmail and/or imap client and i would normally take this to the mutt mailing list (obviously). without full debugging it is not possible to know which component is failing in the chain. it's just that there is a lot of ongoing work on SSL in openbsd, so i thought i might bring it up here as the error message specifically mentioned SSL. -f -- smile, its the second best thing you can do with your lips.
mutt and gmail
i'd like to ask other gmail on mutt users if they experience a Mailbox closed issue if they have it open for longer stretches of time. reopening the mailbox works but it is kind of a PITA. after making a debug enabled mutt, its debug log reveals the following: [2014-10-25 15:44:16] SSL error: I/O error [2014-10-25 15:44:16] Connection to imap.gmail.com closed [2014-10-25 15:44:18] imap_cmd_step: Error reading server response. [2014-10-25 15:44:18] imap_exec: command failed: [2014-10-25 15:44:18] Error polling mailboxes [2014-10-25 15:44:18] Mailbox closed mutt-1.5.23p6v0-sasl -f -- i'm weird, but i'm saving up to be eccentric.
