 On what information do you pass this assertion?
 
 Once you log in, your password is stored in your session - which is on the 
 server - and is never sent in between the webserver and browser. It of 
 course is sent to the IMAP server, but SSL on the browser/webserver leg 
 won't help that in any case.
