My muttrc has the following lines for my gmail:

account-hook 'imaps://roy.aurko@imap.gmail.com/' "\
              set imap_user="roy.aurko at gmail.com" imap_pass=$my_gpass "

set folder="imaps://roy.aurko@imap.gmail.com"
mailboxes =INBOX =[Gmail]/Drafts =[Gmail]/'Sent Mail' =[Gmail]/Spam
folder-hook 'imaps://roy.aurko@imap.gmail.com:993' " \
        set     folder=imaps://roy.aurko@imap.gmail.com/ \
                postponed=+[Gmail]/Drafts \
                record=+[Gmail]/'Sent Mail' \
                smtp_url=smtps://smtp.gmail.com:587 \
                smtp_pass=$my_gpass \
                from='aurko <roy.aurko at gmail.com> ' \
set ssl_force_tls = yes \
                realname='Aurko Roy' "

I tried with your config, but I get the same error. I doubt this is a mutt
issue, since the openssl handshake is failing and mutt cannot connect to
imap without it. On a side note I tried using gnutls+emacs for sending mail
from my gmail account and that works fine. So I'm wondering if mutt can be
set to use gnutls instead of openssl?
