It did, to the extent that I now know why I'm facing these errors out of the blue.

I'm not quite sure as to what am I supposed to do right now, should I wait for Liam's patch to be merged, or should I implement his fixes locally or should I just downgrade my openssl?

Liam's PR (#516 on GitGitGadget [1]) haven't yet passed all build checks and I guess its still a work in progress. Nevertheless I've tried implementing his fixes to imap-send.c, and the make still fails. Am I missing something here?

Thanks! Regards, Nirmal Khedkar
