I don't understand why don't you connect with regular (non-TLS) IMAP if the TLS 
IMAP has an invalid certificate?

If you have an invalid certificate, than you are not connecting securely, even 
if you are using TLS. Belive or not, with an invalid certificate, no 
confidentiality or integrity is assured. So just switch to regular (non-TLS) 
IMAP and be happy! :-))
