Dave and all,

If qtopiamail uses libssl, we should brace ourselves for crappy error 
messages :)

I forgot to mention that my IMAP server uses a certificate signed by 
cacert.org.  The signing certificate cert is in the ca-certificates 
package.  I verified the certificate using a command like "openssl 
verify -cafile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt my-imap-cert.pem".  I 
did that on my imap server.  I should try again on the freerunner.

I can dive into some source code.  Can someone point me to some 
directions on getting a qtmoko environment set up to compile packages?  
If qtmoko follows normal debian conventions, i should be able to 
diagnose some stuff.

As a side note.  When i select TLS, i'm not sure it's being saved.  If i 
recall correctly, the qtopiamail config file just said encryption type = 
2, whatever that means.  When i edit account information it just shows 
up blank.  When i select SSL, and save, then edit account info, the form 
appears with SSL picked.

The lack of ca-certificates package may be intentional.  After all, how 
do we know it is securely delivered to us.  On the other hand, if i 
download Firefox and it comes with n cert signing certificates, how do i 
know they are secure?  But i digress.

I haven't tried SMTP yet, but when i do, i'll post results here.

Brian
