I think I missed the original message... so lets see...

Without putting in debugging code all over the place (well in the login
function anyway), there is no real debugging support... At least not in
the 1.x series anyway.

Did you make sure you installed PHP with OpenSSL support?  If you don't,
the n the login will fail.

The perl script is unlikely to be able to connect to IMAPS, and as such,
probably won't be able to return the correct data, and as such, fails.

Hrm... I don't see OpenSSL options enabled in there... are you sure you
compiled it correctly?  You might want to verify that, and test again. 
>From the basic error message, it looks like we established a socket
connection, but it got closed again because of the failure to negotiate an
SSL transaction.  The curious thing however is that your configuration
didn't complain about the lack of openssl compile, what do you have for
display_errors and error_reporting in your php.ini file?  Did you enable
TLS/SSL in the configuration?

It's the way the error message is reported.  I guess we can drop in a
check to see if it's the login method, and hide the message, however
sometimes it's useful for debugging.

>>* Can this be disabled?

Might be worth a peek, but then again, it might not be as I said, the
error report might be useful, for example it might show a messed up
character.

That depends on how you setup your webserver.  If you setup your webserver
to use just HTTP, then use, the login form is plain text.  If you setup
your login form to use SSL, then no, it's encrypted.  That has nothing to
do with the way SquirrelMail works incidentally.  For more information on
encryption on http, I suggest the mod_ssl website.  I think that's
http://www.modssl.org
