TLS connection issues

TLS connections often fail entirely due to lack of proper code support. Alternatives include SMTP with local mbox, tunneling or trying another protocol. Opportunistic STARTTLS also failing. Older SSLv3 unaffected.

NOTE: for now it is possible to circumvent gnutls issues of on windows by using an openssl build of gnome-vfs NSS instead.
EDIT: Evolution 2.32 opens secure (openssl/gnutls) connections through the gnome-vfs NSS library; simply configure IMAP account to use implicit SSL over port corresponding to IMAPS(993). Due to SSL3 POODLE vulnerability and known issues with TLS, use of a VPN or SSH tunnel is still advised for this release, until there is a fix.
