There has been a bug report on it. And the solution was to add the following line in .emacs - 

(setq vm-stunnel-program "/usr/bin/X11/stunnel4")

Can I do it in ~/.vm? – Problemaniac Jan 29 at 21:45
Tried this in .emacs but still get the same error. – Problemaniac Jan 29 at 21:57

I just tried this on OSX, and it worked for me, after some IMAP URL wrangling.

What do you have in your .emacs and your .vm? In particular, what are your vm-imap-account-alist and vm-primary-inbox set to?

And, as mentioned by @Bibhas, you need to have a working stunnel program. You can download latest from stunnel.org1

I made a typo and put stunnel in my .vm but stunnel4 in my .emacs. After correcting, everything works. Thank you! – Problemaniac Jan 31 at 0:08
