I'm having an issue with Thunderbird (and Opera) and Dovecot SSL on a
Solaris 10.
My OS is Solaris 10 6/06 x86 (running in 64-bit mode) using ZFS (disk
mirror) as the
filesystem for my users. Dovecot version is 1.0rc7 (logs below are from
1.0rc6).
First the connection asks if the SSL-certificate should be accepted,
accepting it
seems to work but then nothing happens. Thunderbird is quite silent, not
always displays
an error message, it just seems that there are no emails to download.
It works fine in Mac OS X Mail.app with POP3s and IMAPs (both SSL). But not for Thunderbird (1.5.0.5) and Opera (latest).
Setting "verbose_ssl=yes" and "auth_debug=yes" in the configuration gives
this error
from a Thunderbird login:

It seems to be that the OpenSSL installed with Solaris 10 is abit "broken"
or missing
the cryptographic procotols needed. (at least from what I've read on the
Internet)
Strange that it works fine with Mail.app on Mac OS X.
So, I installed the latest OpenSSL, compiled, tested and installed. (no problems occured)
Back to compiling Dovecot, used this oneliner to point it to the new
OpenSSL (and my compile settings):
env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig ./configure
--sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc --with-ssldir=/usr/local/etc/ssl
Worked! bash-3.00$ egrep "^SSL_" config.log SSL_CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/ssl/include ' SSL_LIBS='-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lsocket -lnsl -ldl '
But gives this error message when I compile:
gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2
-Wbad-function-cast -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o ssl-build-param

The following command caused the error:
(error message removed to save space, can include if requested)
It seems that the Thunderbird/Opera SSL problem will be solved with a new
OpenSSL.
But I seem to have problems getting Dovecot to compile with the new
OpenSSL (64-bit issue?).
Anyone got any hints on what I should do?
