Error about SSL "SSLType is deprecated. Use TLSType instead"

[Antoine F. <an...@qu...>]

Hi,

I've just reinstalled mbsync on a new Debian installation (12), and I 
can't get mbsync/isync to work on 1.5.1 version.

The error message:

/home/a/.mbsyncrc: notice: SSLType is deprecated. Use TLSType instead.
Error: mbsync built without OpenSSL; only TLSType None is supported.

My config:

IMAPAccount qtnm
Host [obsfuscated]
User [obsfuscated]
PassCmd "pass mail"
SSLType IMAPS
PipelineDepth 1

IMAPStore qtnm-remote
Account qtnm

MaildirStore qtnm-local

If I run mbsync -a -D:

isync 1.5.1 called with: '-a' '-D'
Reading configuration file /home/a/.mbsyncrc
/home/a/.mbsyncrc: notice: SSLType is deprecated. Use TLSType instead.

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

 Very strange, all times I remember Debian has mbsync built with OpenSSL...
 What "dpkg -s isync" shows?

i think the implication is that he installed from source, while not 
having libssl-dev installed.
(the package in debian sta(b)le is at v1.4.4.)

Thanks Evgeniy and Oswald,

So yes I've installed isync from source (nothing to show with "dpkg -s 
isync"), and it's better with libssl-dev installed. Is it necessary to 
add this dependence on the documentation (README)?

I have always the warning message:
"/home/a/.mbsyncrc: notice: SSLType is deprecated. Use TLSType instead."

So I switch to "TLSType IMAPS" and I'm good!
