OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to imap.gmail.com:993

[Hongyi Zhao]

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, and test Gmail using the IMAP protocol as follows:

```
$ curl -vx socks5h://127.0.0.1:18889 --ssl imaps://imap.gmail.com:993
--user "hszhao.cn:passwd"
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:18889...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* SOCKS5 communication to imap.gmail.com:993
* SOCKS5 connect to imap.gmail.com:993 (remotely resolved)
* SOCKS5 request granted.
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 18889 (#0)
* successfully set certificate verify locations:
*   CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
  CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
* TLSv1.3 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello (1):
* OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to imap.gmail.com:993
* Closing connection 0
curl: (35) OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to
imap.gmail.com:993
```

While the other testing will succeed:

```
$ curl -vx socks5h://127.0.0.1:7891 --ssl imaps://imap.gmail.com:993
--user "hszhao.cn:passwd"
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:7891...

```

Any hints for this problem?
