I need to correct that: Dreamhost does NOT use a self-signed certificate. I 
don't want that rumor starting.That was suggested to me as a possible solution 
before I discovered that the real reason was 143 vs 993.

it doesn't matter, SSL is bad configured on the IMAP-server and at least with Dovecot this can be done also with valid certs - tried it ;-) If the server advertises SSL/TLS on port 993 then it should work and not drop on-off, especially when the docs are saying so as well and 993 is obviously open.

Anyway STARTTLS on port 143 is working, so use this then, relax and enjoy,
