Sorry, I missed your response. Thank you for getting back. My encryption options are "none", "starttls after connecting" or "tls on a dedicated port". I do not have SSL on the list of options. Am I looking at the wrong spot? I do not see "IMAP over SSL" anywhere. Version 3.22.6 from Debian 9 repositories.
Thank you!
