Looks like a lot of new bug reports today - I wish the claws-mail 
project all the best.  After working on this problem of connecting to 
secured servers I found the answer - Thunderbird mail.  I would prefer 
to stay with claws but I really need to get my work done and an email 
program that can't get email is a bit troublesome.

All the best!
