Moving from mutt 1.5 to 1.13.2

	Update:

	Setting both of the following solves the first problem: "Encrypted connection unavailable"

set ssl_starttls=no
set ssl_force_tls=no

        I'm guessing this is related to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=963107, but I don't know exactly how. Perhaps my use case of connecting to davmail is unusual, or maybe I'm doing something insecure with davmail that I'm unaware of. Thoughts about that are appreciated.

	I'll be looking more into my second error, now that it seems it is unrelated to the first.
