SSL negotiation, not TLS negotiation. Specifically, the SSLv23 method, as
opposed to the TLSv1 method.
I suspect this is considered pretty non-standard, and
out of scope for c-client. Nonetheless, its a problem
I need to solve.
It's standard, but an older standard; and it is supported by c-client.
I was hoping for suggestions on how I might go about
making this work.
The work is already done for you.
Just add /ssl after the host name in the mailbox specification, e.g.
{imap.example.com/ssl}INBOX
