- I tried this setting for a while and got these suspicious log entries:
gnutls.c: [0] (Emacs) fatal error: A TLS fatal alert has been received.
gnutls.c: [0] (Emacs) Received alert:  Bad record MAC

(setq  gnutls-log-level 2)
localhost certificate could not be verified.
gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) certificate signer was not found: localhost
gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) certificate validation failed: localhost
gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) x509 certificate does not match: localhost
Opening connection to localhost...done
Opening nnimap server on naru...done
gnutls.c: [2] ASSERT: gnutls_record.c:726

gnutls.c: [2] ASSERT: gnutls_record.c:1122

gnutls.c: [0] (Emacs) fatal error: A TLS fatal alert has been received.
gnutls.c: [0] (Emacs) Received alert:  Bad record MAC
gnutls.c: [2] (Emacs) Deallocating x509 credentials
End of buffer

- then i tried using a emacs with no gnutls for a while, and i dont seem
  to get the problem anymore.

so for some reason gnutls support doesnt work in my case. Since we dont
get other reports about this, I think its a local problem. I use my
xwidget emacs branch(which i dont think touches gnutls support any) on
Fedora 18.
