Dear James, Welcome to VM. I think you will enjoy VM once you get it going. At the moment, your problem seems to be that you don't have a working version of stunnel.

Please give us that information first. There has been plenty of discussion of stunnel problems both on the VM newsgroup archives (which you can find on Google Groups). https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/gnu.emacs.vm.info Here is a thread on VM Launchpad site which might help getting some insight into the problems. https://answers.launchpad.net/vm/+question/108267 Cheers, Uday
