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

[Stephan Hesse]

Hello David,

I also had a homebrew installation of claws-mail and just my problems
with fetching the e-mails via imaps/993. I have an Intel Macbook pro
with ventura 13.6.1.
So the problems are still there, but the smtp mail sending works.
Very much I would like to build once claws-mail via git. Unfortunately
I have tried that in vain.
Have you tested this once yourself?
Maybe it is as you write a bug in the brew-arm64-version and the
problems would be fixed perhaps with the self-compiled version! That
would make me very happy!

Problem ./autogen.sh
