The "Hacker Test" that floated around the net several years ago hat the two questions: +++ Can you whistle 300 Baud? +++ .... 1200? If you have to answer "No" to these questions you should probably also refrain from trying to do telnet connects to a SSL service. Not only because the math is quite hard to do in your head, but even more so because you cannot enter all the necessary octets with a normal keyboard. You would have whistle them (in 8,n,1) into a phone connected to a modem. But seriously: 993 is the imaps port and it is the whole point of imaps that plaintext connections don't work.
