yes and no.  All MUA's are forced to use IMAP+SSL via
tcp/993 which worked fine.  SquirrelMail used
localhost/IMAP/143 which wasn't tested until now,
which also didn't work for any MUA.

I'm an idiot, and my assumption was incorrect.  The
Courier option IMAP_TLS_REQUIRED affects ALL
connections, not just IMAP+SSL.  This snuck into our
install docs, and disabling this enabled SquirrelMail
(and other) IMAP/143 logins.

You're right, thanks for the tip Jonathan.  Rock on
SquirrelMail.
