No.  Especially since PHP 5.1.0+ is required for TLS support, TLS should
*never* be used unless specifically requested by the user (i.e.
'imap/tls').

It does seem, however, that imap_open() will fallback to tls if no TLS
parameter is given (i.e. 'imap' will first try a plaintext login before
attempting a TLS login before giving up).  So what we need to do is simply
remove the bare 'imap' and 'pop3' connection strings from test.php.  The
examples in servers.php already correctly show that 'notls' is needed if we
don't want to use TLS connections.

I've gone ahead and removed the offending connection strings from test.php
in HEAD and IMP 4.1.2.
