I use courier-imap with ssl on imap and pop ports 993/995, works well

recently I have installed a new/latest version of Snappermail mail client
on my h/held, and, I'm experiencing delays during mail pass since then

Snapper ppl think it might be the new cyphers that they have added to the
latest mail client (which were not in earlier builds)

dumb q: how do I determine what type of cypher does my courier-imap uses ?

Courier-IMAP does not care what cipher gets used. All encryption is handled by either the OpenSSL, or the GnuTLS library. The default settings are configured at compile time, depending upon which library is used. Then, the actual ciphers are negotiated when a connection to a client gets established.

Courier-IMAP is not involved in cipher negotiation. The actual encryption is handled by the library. So Courier-IMAP has no need to know what actual ciphers were negotiated, so it doesn't even ask, and nothing gets logged. The only, limited, control over the process can be made by tweaking some settings in the imapd-ssl configuration file to disable selected cipher combinations, if there is some particular reason to do so.
