SSL error: wrong version number

support
1

Hello hello, when trying to enable POP3 polling a generic error appears in the UI: “sorry an error has occurred”. On checking the logs we see this:

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: wrong version number) /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/net/protocol.rb:44:in `connect_non

What does this mean? Any pointers to the meaning or possible resolution of this issue would be much appreciated!

Full log and screenshot below.

Any ideas? Still stuck on this

Hey! Did you fix it? I had a similar issue.
I was able to fix it by enabling TLS 1.2 in my mail server. I think discourse does not support SSL TLS1.3 while POP3 polling and that was causing the issue.
What service are you using for incoming mails?
