Please tell me if I am wrong, but my impression with OE is that it can't 
use startssl.  It can either make a connection to a TLS enabled socket or 
it will talk in the clear.  Is that true?

We often hear of war described as if it were some kind of impersonal

just something that happens, it is something that people make happen, and
they make it happen for reasons. As Clausewitz said, war is the continuation
of politics by other means. Exactly. War is neither a hurricane nor a flood.
It is, on the contrary, the cutting edge of ideology.

First, you're mixing terms.  STARTTLS, is a protocol command that is
used AFTER a connection (NOT including login) has been made in the
clear.  SSL usually refers to a SSL-wrapped protocol that is encrypted
from the start.

That being said, I believe that OE can do both for SMTP (it uses
STARTTLS on port 25 and SSL on any other port), and it only does SSL for
IMAP.

 I believe that it is proprietary. How ever you can enable SSL in OE, which
 works with Cyrus fine.
