Description Christian Tietz 2014-11-29 21:32:27 UTC 
Not yet 30 days in the repository, however, since SSLv3 support has been dropped for good reason by various major email providers during the past weeks/months, all previous versions in portage are virtually rendered useless. Hence, I would already like to start the stabilization process.

Complete list would be:

=dev-libs/libdbusmenu-12.10.2
=dev-libs/libindicate-12.10.1
=mail-client/claws-mail-3.11.1

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Christian Tietz 2014-11-29 22:27:55 UTC 
I would like to add that I am running these on an otherwise stable amd64 environment without any issues; previously in my local overlay since the moment claws-mail-3.11.1 was released.
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-11-30 13:06:31 UTC 
Why would it be useless? What 3.11.1 does is change the defaults to prefer TLS, which still works fine with all those e-mail providers.
Comment 3 Christian Tietz 2014-11-30 20:10:46 UTC 
SSL handshake fails when using <mail-client/claws-mail-3.11 and attempting to connect to email providers that have disabled SSLv3 due to POODLE vulnerability. I ran into this issue with both gmx.net and t-online.de. There is also a workaround [1] available, however, it is probably more convenient for most users to simply upgrade to the latest version.

Another option is to backport 2 patches mentioned in bug 525588 [1] to claws-mail-3.10.1 and stabilize that version instead.

(In reply to Alexander Tsoy from comment #4)
First patch fixes problem with direct SSL/TLS mentioned by Christian. Current stable claws-mail support TLS 1.0-1.2 out of the box only when using STARTTLS. Second patch disables SSLv3.
