UPDATE 2: For users happening onto this thread due to Gmail's deprecation of SSLv3 support in June 2016: see comment #39 (which further points to this thread) for the solution.

Hi!

So yesterday morning I see that the sending of emails from my n900 suddenly stopped working. After looking into it a bit, it turns out that if I disable SSL and just connect over port 25, then I can still send emails. But I really don't think I want to be sending emails (including the authentication to gmail!) in the clear...

Any ideas on what's going on? Could it be that gmail is stopping to support the SSL versions on the N900? Why isn't everyone on the forum seeing this issue?

I'm running the latest CSSU stable (21.2011.38-1Smaemo7), my gmail account has two factor authentication and I use an application password for the smtp access -- none of the settings have changed in probably 3 or 4 years... Using modest as my mail client.

Thanks!
Dov
