imapd can do SSL on, say port 993, or it can do TLS with STARTTLS on port 143, right? But TLS without STARTTLS is not supported?
TLS ... transport layer security is somehow an improved and standardized SSL ver. 3
Here an example with uw-imapd as server:
# openssl s_client -host MAILSERVER -port 993 -tls1 -no_ssl3 -no_ssl2
CONNECTED(00000003)
[...certificate stuff removed...]
