Bug Description

[ Description ]

Cannot connect to servers with SSLv3 disabled, with a message "Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s)."

[ QA ]

Try to connect to a server with SSLv3 disabled and see if you can retrieve mail (and that it errors before the update).

[ Regression potential ]

Might enable a different set of SSL/TLS versions, check with different servers.

[ Original report ]

Evolution developers asked me to relay that there is a fix to this issue available, please see

It clearly addresses the issue, we can now connect to IMAP via TLS protocols and SSLv3 disabled.

Thank you

I just installed 3.10.4-0ubuntu1.5 from proposed and it does indeed fix the issue for me - IMAP over TLS to port 993 is now working (as opposed to STARTTLS, which I've not tested as I don't have a server to test against but presume is also now working). Thanks.
