+ <p>SSL on a dedicated port</p>
+ <p>Connect to the IMAP server's standard port (port 143) to establish an interactive
session with the server, then issue a STARTTLS command.
+ This performs a negotiation with the IMAP server that, in effect, wrappers the unsecured
connection with an encryption layer.
+ Once the connection is encrypted, it is safe to authenticate the user with a mechanism
as simple as a plain-text password. </p>
