Description

When applying the same settings to the xfce4 mailwatch plugin as what works with Thunderbird, the mailwatch log panel shows:

• 2019-09-10 07:00:23: [First Last (domain)] Connection timed out
• 2019-09-10 07:00:23: [First Last (domain)] Failed to connect to server "mail.domain.ca": Operation now in progress

Without knowing why the server connection failed, the problem cannot be fixed. Please provide more detailed log messages to help debug issues. For example:

• Failed to connect to "mail.domain.ca" on port 993 using SSL/TLS. Reason: Host unreachable

Where "Reason" could include issues such as: "Invalid credentials", "Server not listening on port", "Incorrect SSL protocol version", or any other issues that have actionable resolution. As it stands, "Operation now in progress" and "failed to connect to server" offer no insight into how to resolve the issue.

Version: Xfce4 Mailwatch Plugin 1.2.0

Adding detailed log messages to /var/log/messages (or similar) would also be welcome.
