Hello all,

Since a few days I've got a problem with my Arcor mail-account. I can't
connect anymore and mutt keeps telling me "A TLS packet with unexpected
length was received.". I didn't change my mutt-setup nor the mutt-version
(which by the way is "Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17)").

A 'mutt -d 5' delivers:

I'm afraid it's a mutt-related problem, for e.g. Sylpheed works just
fine (using STARTTLS as well). The line "STARTTLS unavailable" in the
above output seems a bit strange to me, as Sylpheed works with STARTTLS
and even setting "ssl_starttls=no" in mutt doesn't change anything.


Best regards,
