[Dovecot] Dovecot error with Symbian mail client
Greetings list,
I have recently acquired an Nokia E71 (which comes with Symbian 3rd edition, feature pack 3 I believe). Accessing my emails has worked before, but now, I cannot connect to the mail server any longer.
If I enable verbose_ssl, I get the following error in the log:
SSL_accept() failed: error:140943F2:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert unexpected message [141.84.69.67]
I cannot access my mail, the dialog just closes and the wireless connection ends.
I am using dovecot version 1.0.13 and my config is
# 1.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps ssl_cert_file: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd
Thanks for your answers!
Regards, Jan Seeger
PS: I have tested the symbian client with gmail, and it works. So the problem is probably a bug in the communication between the symbian client and dovecot.

Worked before with this phone? I have this exact phone and have no issues with Dovecot here.
If I enable verbose_ssl, I get the following error in the log:

Update!!! I'm using 1.1.3, there have been many many times updating has fixed someone's problems on this list.
For completeness here is my dovecot -n # 1.1.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /usr/local/etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_processes_count: 1 verbose_proctitle: yes mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir imap_client_workarounds: delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix

In general SSL issues are unlikely to be directly Dovecot-related.
Usually it's a generic OpenSSL problem, possibly a buggy OpenSSL
installation or something..
Thanks for the replies.
I guess Timo is right, since I already upgraded from 1.0.9 to version 1.0.13. So I probably need to change my openssl version. What would be the easiest way to do that, since I'm on an debian etch server, which (I think) I cant upgrade?

Hi Jan,
normally on debian server u do this :
# aptitude update # aptitude upgrade
look on aptitude upgrade if openssl is listed to be updated with a newer version nr

Greetings!
I do have the latest versions of all packages installed, so an upgrade won't do anything. A downgrade seems not to be possible, so I should probably look into doing a dist-upgrade...

I just noticed that the server time is off by one hour (and I can't set it correctly). Could that lead to an ssl problem? I've heard it screws with kerberos, so...

Funnily enough, a hard reset cured this prooblem and I can now happily access my mail. Probably a problem with the preinstalled software...
