This started happening the other day. I have a few Hotmail accounts set to IMAP and one is consistently returning the "SSL connection failed" error.
When I switch it back to a Hotmail/Outlook server type, it works fine, but I'd rather not use that workaround long-term... if possible.
Anyone else experiencing something similar lately?
Thanks in advance.

Are you using OAuth2? I think that sometimes an OAuth2-related error results in the "SSL connection error" (this should be fixed in v4.4). So, if you were, go back to Imap, press the Oauth2 button, reset the credentials and re-authorize POP Peeper.
Let me know if that works or not.

Hi Jeff.
It seems that the issue was intermittent, as it was working properly again this evening.
I was/am using Oauth2 with this account, so I reset and re-authorized as you suggested.
I'll update this thread if the issue pops up again.
Thanks!
