Hmmm. Interesting. You probably won't believe this but I am observing this error only since upgrading from courier-0.38 to courier-0.39.

Correct. SSL support in 0.39 is much more robust.

Indeed the culpret seems to be Outlook and Outlook Express and not Eudora. Does the following error log lines help:

Sep 14 15:17:19 adsl-114 imapd-ssl: couriertls: accept: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure Sep 14 15:21:10 adsl-63-193-98-114 imapd-ssl: Unexpected SSL connection shutdown.

The first line does not always appear.

In the first case this is actually understandable. If the peer fails to establish an SSL session it's understandable if it gets a little bit confused, and recovers by just shutting down the connection. A well written SSL client shouldn't log this if the SSL session succesfully got under way, except when there's an actual network failure.
