Hello!

Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask, but it's not clear what
exactly is at fault here so I thought I'd at least start on this list.

I updated my system yesterday with pacman -Syu, and now Claws is
claiming that pop.gmail.com is sending an invalid certificate whenever
Claws tries to connect to fetch mail. I've not accepted the invalid
certificate.

This is the text of the dialog box that pops up:

--8<--
Certificate for pop.gmail.com has changed.
Certificate is for invalid2.invalid, but connection is to pop.gmail.com.
You may be connecting to a remote server.

Do you want to accept it?

Signature status: Self-signed certificate.

This is all I see on stderr:

** (claws-mail:5539): WARNING **: 09:40:22.955: size differ 896 1156
** (claws-mail:5539): WARNING **: 09:40:23.920: can't initialize
SSL/TLS.
** (claws-mail:5539): WARNING **: 09:40:23.920: [09:40:23] SSL/TLS
handshake failed

Other non-Gmail accounts work correctly.

Anyone got any ideas?
