I search a lot about the "tls_socket_read" problem. It's caused by SSL connection time out or broken. In my case, I tuned mutt with many timeout parameters but without success. If mutt's no problem, the connection may be disconnected on server end or the ISP's firewall. Your case said gmail has no problem, so the problem should reside in my ISP's firewall. But I can't do anything on that. -- oooO::::::::: (..)::::::::: :\.(:::Oooo:: ::\_)::(..):: :::::::)./::: ::::::(_/::::
