            Bug ID: 3253
           Summary: all addresses of getaddrinfo() result should be tried
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.10.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Other

If I have multiple A and/or AAAA records for hostname, only the first result
returned by getaddrinfo() for which a socket can be created is tried. This
means if that IP-address is not responsive (timeouts), the others are not
tried.

E.g. imap.gmail.com has two A records, and one AAAA record. It has happened
sometimes that the first A result timeouts, but the second A works. In these
instances it is not possible to connect.
