Initially it has been implemented for mail proxy module, but it seems that 
“none”
is more graceful than “off” in general:

       /*
        * If the server explicitly says that it does not support
        * session reuse (see SSL_SESS_CACHE_OFF above), then
        * Outlook Express fails to upload a sent email to
        * the Sent Items folder on the IMAP server via a separate IMAP
        * connection in the background. Therefore we have a special
        * mode (SSL_SESS_CACHE_SERVER|SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE)
        * where the server pretends that it supports session reuse,
        * but it does not actually store any session.
        */
