If you are using Courier, built with OpenSSL support, and the remote server doesn't use a permissive protocol handshake, nothing you can do will make this work. I recommend using GnuTLS instead of OpenSSL.

How is this done?  I don't see any configure option in the main
configure script for anything related to SSL/TLS library choice, nor
does the Gentoo ebuild offer one as a USE variable setting for the
Courier package.  Does one simply set the LIBS env var at build time to
point to libgnutls-openssl.so?

Before you go crazy over this, just try removing all explicit TCP_PROTOCOL and TLS_CIPHERLIST settings. In 0.59, they now have better defaults that should be more compatible, out of the box. Explicit TLS_PROTOCOL settings, after 0.59, are often counterproductive.

But if you would like to experiment with GnuTLS, it's not a top-level configure setting. configure settings are recursive. The option is --with-gnutls, which is the automatic default if OpenSSL is not installed at all.
