I found the Services for Unix Applications (the built-in POSIX-thingy in Windows) and enabled it, and downloaded and installed everything from the SUA community (see URL above). I have a home computer running dovecot and listening for IMAPS connections on port 993. I can connect to this dovecot server from this Vista machine. But I can't connect with gnus. Nor can I connect using the command line command openssl s_client -connect homeserver.dyndns.org:993 from a cmd shell on this Vista machine. The command connects fine, using SUA community openssl, from a Win2008 Server running in a different network, but that is potentially a different binary, since the 2008 Server is an AMD64 machine. So I have currently two theories: - There is a firewall either on the Vista machine or on the network I'm connectiong in (but if so: why is Thunderbird successful in talking on that port?) - The openssl client on the Vista machine is broken Any other theories? Other tips and tricks I could try? Does anyone successfully connect to an IMAPS server from a Gnus on a Vista machine? What about other windowsen? If so: what openssl do you use? Are anyone else running SUA community opensssl? Thanx! - Steinar
