Re: [Evolution] IMAP/SSL weirdness

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

Evolution attempts to connect to the default port (for imap, this is 143
or the port that you define) over a plain connection first. It then
checks to see if the server supports STARTTLS - if so, it toggles into
SSL mode via that method rather than connecting to the SSL port.

If that fails, it then attempts to connect top the SSL port.

This is if you have the "always" option for SSL in the account config.
If you set it to "whenever possible", it doesn't ever bother trying the
SSL port - it just tries the cleartext port and looks for STARTTLS.
