Hi Gevisz I had a similar behavior with another tools : offlineimap It seems that Google changes certificates very often and/or uses different certificates on different connections For offlineimap, the solution is to use an option to check certificates : sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt Maybe there is an option to do the same in Claws Mail. I found "Bug 2199 - Claws doesn't propery verify certification chain" [1] which affected a GMail user. It's fixed, so you may find what's been done.
