Building with a different back-end should help isolate the problem
further. Rather than depending on Apple SecureTransport (or whatever
it is called nowadays), OpenSSL would not suffer the Keychain
problems.

I _think_ the thing to look for at configure summary is 'OpenSSL : yes'.

The Keychain should still be used, but it will be a master key used to
encrypt app-specific secrets, like IMAP or POP password. Or that is
how I would design the system.
