[sylpheed:37275] LibSylph-WARNING: sock_read: received EOF

[John Coppens]

Hi all!

My trusty Sylpheed is acting up! On the log, I see:

* Connecting to POP3 server: pop.gmail.com...
** LibSylph-WARNING: sock_read: received EOF

** GLib-CRITICAL: Source ID 827146 was not found when attempting to remove it
** LibSylph-WARNING: [02:27:34] Connection closed by the remote host.

** Connection closed by the remote host.
* Connecting to POP3 server: pop3.uccor.edu.ar...
* SSL certificate of pop3.uccor.edu.ar previously accepted

----
This happens when downloading from gmail's pop3 server (actually pop.gmail.com)
with TLS enabled (as I read somewhere, this is needed).

Without TLS, the error is different:

[02:43:57] POP3< -ERR [AUTH] Username and password not accepted.
** LibSylph-WARNING: [02:43:57] error occurred on authentication

** error occurred on authentication
[02:43:57] POP3> QUIT
[02:43:57] POP3< +OK Bye cj31mb41719615oob
** LibSylph-WARNING: [02:43:57] Authentication failed.

** Authentication failed.

----
I suspect this is due to the fact that gmail.com doesn't allow 'lesser security'
clients anymore.

Is there a solution to this?
