I am trying to setup mew to use a gmail account provided by my college. I am on Ubuntu 18.04 and using emacs 25. This is my (anonymized) .mew:
(setq mew-config-alist
'((default
(mailbox-type imap)
(proto "%")
(prog-ssl "/usr/local/bin/stunnel")
(imap-server "imap.gmail.com")
(imap-ssl-port "993")
(imap-user "uname@student.college.tld")
(name "Full Name")
(user "uname")
(mail-domain "student.college.tld")
(imap-ssl t)
(imap-size 0)
(imap-delete t)
(imap-queue-folder "%queue")
(imap-trash-folder "%Trash")
(smtp-ssl t)
(smtp-auth t)
(smtp-auth-list ("PLAIN" "LOGIN" "CRAM-MD5"))
(smtp-user "uname@student.college.tld")
(smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(smtp-ssl-port "465")
(use-cached-password t)
(ssl-verify-level 0)
(prog-ssl-arg "fips=no\n"))))
The following is in my .emacs related to mew:
(autoload 'mew "mew" nil t)
(autoload 'mew-send "mew" nil t)
(setq read-mail-command 'mew)
(autoload 'mew-user-agent-compose "mew" nil t)
(if (boundp 'mail-user-agent)
(setq mail-user-agent 'mew-user-agent))
(if (fboundp 'define-mail-user-agent)
(define-mail-user-agent
'mew-user-agent
'mew-user-agent-compose
'mew-draft-send-message
'mew-draft-kill
'mew-send-hook))
and the following in my /ect/stunnel/stunnel.conf:
[imaps]
accept = 993
connect = 143
[ssmtp]
accept = 465
connect = 25
However, mew hangs on Creating an SSL/TLS connection and I don't know why.
Edit: I am on mew 6.8, stunnel 5.44 and stunnel /ect/stunnel/stunnel.conf yields the following:
[ ] Clients allowed=500
[.] stunnel 5.44 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu platform
[.] Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.1.0g 2 Nov 2017
[.] Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6,SYSTEMD TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI Auth:LIBWRAP

[.] UTF-8 byte order mark not detected
[.] FIPS mode disabled

edit2: Problem was resolved by adding client=yes under ssmtp in stunnel conf
