When compiled with "--with-ssl", it uses openssl for TLS,
and with "--with-gnutls" it uses the gnutls implementation.
(Btw: there is no "--with-openssl" configure option).

Is the certificate properly installed in /etc/pki/tls/certs?
Openssl looks in that place and aborts if the servers certificate
could not be validated. Gnutls offers you to accept it manually,
if the host name does not match.

(Disclaimer: I'm not using a Fedora mutt).
