Starttls means that both ends switch over to TLS mode, using the same socket. Port 993 has nothing to do with it. > However, the real issue behind this is, that the options where named > badly. Since 2.6.0, this is corrected and clearly states No encryption, > TLS and SSL encryption respectively. Hmmm, still not clear. TLS == SSLv3. Something like No encryption, Starttls, Secure IMAP (SSL) would be more logical. OTOH I don't get it why it should be configurable to enable/disable starttls. It either is supported/handshaked on both ends or not.
