Cecil,
Do you have the SSL certificate setup?

Not being able to connect using SSL or STARTTLS is often just a
problem
with the certificate.

The first setting is preferred, and will hopefully be required in
the future. The entire message/session is encrypted, including the
password, so the login/plain password setting is a little
misleading when it says that the password is transmitted
insecurely.
The cram-md5 authentication method (one of the encrypted password
methods) will be removed from the stock QMT at some point in the
future. It no longer serves a useful purpose (due to the advent of
TLS), and requires that passwords be stored in plain text on the
server, which is undesirable from a security standpoint.
Is there a write up on how to enable TLS? or quick instructions?
