[mew-int 2710] Gmail: Creating an SSL/TLS connection...FAILED (cert verify failure)

Hi,

I've been interested in reading my gmail in emacs for a while (and
have attempted this many times), but this time I'm committed to making
it work! I've tried using gnus in the past, but someone on #emacs
recommended mew, and configuration has been much simpler.

However, I'm still running into a problem -- when I start mew, I'm
prompted to C-u Z to collect IMAP folders. I do this, and I get the
error: Creating an SSL/TLS connection...FAILED (cert verify failure)

Is this a mew configuration issue? Is it a stunnel problem? I'm not
very familiar with stunnel -- I'm on gentoo, and starting stunnel as a
service gives this error:

dl <at> gentoo-server:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/stunnel start
 * Starting stunnel ...

Hi, David.
Add the following to your .emacs:

(setq mew-ssl-verify-level 0)
