Thanks, Uday, for mustering the patience to stick with this annoying and narrow thread. I know you have other things to do!

For some value of “clean”: this is a warning, but is it consequential? I doubt that this is stopping cygwin stunnel from doing its job, as I can get to Gmail using imap-ssl by this route. The file cygwin is complaining about, c:\temp\vm387560729, is the stunnel config generated by vm. I imagine vm uses that locution for the file name because of this line in my vm: (setq vm-temp-file-directory "c:/temp/") I coded that because it’s native Windows emacs, not Cygwin emacs, and stunnel is the only Cygwin program I use. I’m leery of using Cygwin filenames in configuring native Windows emacs, to be honest. If it were safe, in this context, to code: (setq vm-temp-file-directory "/cygdrive/c/temp/") I’d be delighted to do it. But I don’t think it is. I got this message when I tried it: completion--some: Opening output file: no such file or directory, c:/cygdrive/c/temp/vm075228092 This way, it seems vm isn’t even getting to the stage of invoking stunnel and attempting an imap session. >> * OK The Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service is ready.^M >> >> * BYE Connection is closed. 13 > >My guess is that your Exchange server is over-eager to close the >connection. I don’t think so. The “* BYE Connection is closed. 13” line appears quite a while after vm complains about the unexpected char. >You might want to check what happens when you do this with gmail.
