Subject: SSLv3 vulnerability
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:53:17 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m238aoguaq.fsf@fastmail.fm> (raw)

Recently an SSL v3 vulnerability was discovered [1], so some mail
servers (I know of fastmail.fm by the moment [2]) disabled / will disable it
completely.

Switching to TLS will help:

(setq imap-ssl-program '("openssl s_client -quiet -tls1 -connect %s:%p"))
