No, the problem is that the client is the one that start the SSL connection.
>From looking at Ethereal with a normal SSL connection, you will see the
following...
Client Server
SYN ->
<- SYN, ACK
ACK ->
SSL Client Hello ->
<- ACK
<- SSL Server Hello
If the user never select "SSL" checkbox and then connect, the server is
waiting for a "SSL Client Hello" from the client. For a normal session
(port 143) the server send a IMAP response (OK response).
