Using the Vista machine (it's a laptop) in my home LAN, I can connect to the dovecot server with an openssl command as above. So there's probably something firewallish between the Vista machine and the outside world at work. How and why that firewall lets through Thunderbird traffic and stops the openssl command line client, I don't know. It could be a characteristic of the traffic perhaps...? But I would have thought the Thunderbird SSL support came from openssl...= Anyway: even with openssl working from the command line, Gnus fails to open the connection: Opening nnimap server on myserver... imap: Connecting to myserver.dyndns.org... imap: Opening SSL connection with `openssl s_client -quiet -ssl3 -connect %s:%p'...done Waiting for response from myserver.dyndns.org...done Unable to open server nnimap+myserver due to: Process imap not running Unable to open server nnimap+myserver, go offline?

Do I perhaps need to do something about line endings?
