You confirmed my suspicion: imapd isn't recognizing that it is being invoked on the SSL port, and therefore is never setting up SSL.

Interesting -- I wonder if TLS really works, then, or is just pretending to. I was assuming it was working, since Thunderbird would present me with my self-signed certificate upon connecting, but perhaps actual encrypted communications never got underway? I'm ignorant on the innards of TLS/SSL, so this is just random musing.

The underlying problem is that tcp_serverport() isn't returning good data.

Am I to assume that the correct values to come back from tcp_serverport() are 
143 and 993?


Did you build the software in 64-bit mode? If so, rebuild it in 32-bit mode. There are known issues with 64-bit builds, and this is one of them.

I certainly hope the build is 32-bit since I'm running on a crufty AMD K6 box :-); plus, since I'm using FreeBSD 4.11, I don't believe the gcc-2.95.4 compiler even knows about x86_64. Anyway, I'll look around tcp_serverport() to see what is happening.

Thanks again for your prompt help,
