Hello all,
I am trying to get my gmail to work with mutt but keep
getting this error: "SSL failed: I/O error". I then tried to connect
to imap.gmail.com with openssl ($openssl s_client -connect
imap.mail.me.com:993 and also $openssl s_client -connect
imap.mail.me.com:993 -CApath /etc/ssl/certs/)
both of which give the following:
CONNECTED(00000003)
140098731194024:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake
failure:s23_lib.c:177:
---
no peer certificate available
---
No client certificate CA names sent
---
SSL handshake has read 0 bytes and written 228 bytes
---
New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE)
Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported
Compression: NONE
Expansion: NONE
---
This seems to be a peculiar problem only with gmail as I can
successfully connect to icloud's imap server (imap.mail.me.com)
without any problems. Does anybody have a clue what could be the
problem?

What does your muttrc look like? This works for me:
set imap_user=your-username
set imap_pass=your-password
set folder=imaps://imap.gmail.com/
set spoolfile = +INBOX
mailboxes = +INBOX
set header_cache = ~/.mutt/hcache
set postponed = +[Gmail]/Drafts
unset imap_passive
set imap_keepalive = 300
set mail_check = 120
set sort=threads

Are you sure to use the correct certificate? Gmail ask for a specific
certificate to allow connection, and this should be specified in one of
your config file with the <cert_fingerprint> variable.

My muttrc has the following lines for my gmail:
account-hook 'imaps://roy.aurko@imap.gmail.com/' "
set imap_user="roy.aurko@gmail.com" imap_pass=$my_gpass "
set folder="imaps://roy.aurko@imap.gmail.com"
mailboxes =INBOX =[Gmail]/Drafts =[Gmail]/'Sent Mail' =[Gmail]/Spam
folder-hook 'imaps://roy.aurko@imap.gmail.com:993' "
set folder=imaps://roy.aurko@imap.gmail.com/
postponed=+[Gmail]/Drafts
record=+[Gmail]/'Sent Mail'
smtp_url=smtps://smtp.gmail.com:587
smtp_pass=$my_gpass
from='aurko <roy.aurko@gmail.com> '
set ssl_force_tls = yes
realname='Aurko Roy' "
I tried with your config, but I get the same error. I doubt this is a mutt
issue, since the openssl handshake is failing and mutt cannot connect to
imap without it. On a side note I tried using gnutls+emacs for sending mail
from my gmail account and that works fine. So I'm wondering if mutt can be
set to use gnutls instead of openssl?

I have the Thawte's certificates (Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem,
Thawte_Server_CA.pem) in my /etc/ssl/certs/. Do I need
some other certificates to connect? I am not aware of the
<cert_fingerprint> variable in the config file. Could you elaborate more on
that?

I use offlineimap to fetch my mails from the gmail account. In its
~/offlineimaprc, I need to set this variable:
cert_fingerprint=<here is your Thawte_Server fingerprint>. Not sure this
is needed if you use Mutt IMAP built-in facilities.
