If you set "SSL2" you have to be aware, that some other clients (those 
not using a SSL2.0 compatible handshake) will fail. This especially 
affects all mail clients using GnuTLS as their SSL/TLS implementation.

In case courier does not understand the setting (e.g. in case of 0.56.0 
which does not know "SSL23") it interprets it as TLS1. This should 
explain why you have to force tls if you set SSL23.

the GnuTLS test command (to test if you configuration works with this 
SSL implementation as well) is:

gnutls-cli server.domain -p 993

.. which will not work when set to "SSL2".
