i don't like making the man page "noisy" like that. examples should go
into mbsyncrc.sample (i'll grant that this file should be probably
mentioned somewhere in the man page, conventionally at the bottom under
FILES).

regarding the example itself, you're losing me on the way ... you
disable compression, but then it's about ssl? am i missing something?

the idea of sniffing connections to ssl servers itself has merit, and
i've posted "howtos" to this list myself:
https://sourceforge.net/p/isync/mailman/message/34601461/
your method of using a proper local socket and a network sniffer has
advantages over my suggestion to use strace on mbsync itself, so it's
probably a good idea to document both approaches.
