Squirrelmail 1.4.5, freeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, courier-imap 4.0.6, courier-
authlib 0.57
I have a secure IMAP (courier) running on a server on port 993 (and
only on port 993). I have squirrelmail on another server, trying to
connect. Imapd-ssl works fine with my mail clients (Thunderbird,
Outlook, Mail.app, Outlook Express, and Entourage)
When squirrelmail's configtest tries to connect to courier-ssl on
port 993 to login, it reports:
(* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE
THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA AUTH=CRAM-MD5
AUTH=CRAM-SHA1 IDLE AUTH=PLAIN ACL ACL2=UNION] Courier-IMAP ready.

Notice that START_TLS is not present in the CAPABILITY Section. And
Squirrelmail complains about this. This seem odd as the SSL
connection on port 993 is already encrypted.
ERROR: You have enabled TLS encryption in the config, but the
server does not report STARTTLS capability. TLS is probably not
supported.
So, fine, I tell SM not to enable TLS, but that is the "Secure IMAP
(TLS)" setting, so when I do that, SM never connects at all and all
login attempts simply time out.
It appears that the configuration SM wants is port 143 with StartTLS
and it will not accept a straight SSL conenction on port 993.
For various reasons I cannot give it a connection on 143.
Anyway to get around this?
