IMAP connection fails (university server)

Help

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to connect my university email account to Mailspring on Windows 10.

Connection fails with the following log:

----------IMAP---------- connect <mailcore::IMAPSession:001DF970> * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ AUTH=PLAIN ID ACL RIGHTS=kxten QUOTA NAMESPACE UIDPLUS XLIST SPECIAL-USE IDLE BM-ROCKS] perdition ready on bm-perdition.univ-montp3.fr 000387f1 ssl connect jade.univ-montp3.fr 993 2 OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.1.0f 25 May 2017 Verification failed: X509_verify_cert_error_string: unable to get local issuer certificate X509_get_subject_name: ssl connect certificate ERROR 2

Until recently I was using thunderbird to read my emails and the connection to this email adresse worked there. But I don’t know how to make it work on mailspring, that I would like to use from now on.

Thanks in advance for any help :folded_hands:

I’m honestly not sure what your issue is. I was able to use curl and connect without any certificate issues.

curl -v imaps://jade.univ-montp3.fr
