[Users] claws-mail impap-error Port 993 tls on Macos

[Stephan Hesse]

Hey David,

Thank you for your offer to program a patch for claws-mail.

In the meantime the new versions 4.2.0 and 3.20.0 have been released.
I had tried to compile claws-mail for Intel(!) Macos with both versions.
Unfortunately, make still does not run without errors.

My problem is still receiving e-mail via imaps/993. Sending e-mail via
port 587 works!
Still this error message:
* Account 'Briefhansa': Connect to IMAP-Server: 
mail.briefhansa.de:993...
*** TLS handshake failed

Thanks in advance

Greetings Steffe
