Hi all,

I have resolved this on my own, apologies for the noise.

The issue turned out to be that I misunderstood the behavior of the `tls` value to the `secure` parameter in Horde_Imap_Client_Socket constructor. I was under the impression that it would automatically negotiate the connection settings, but after tracing the code I see this is not so. Forcing the Horde IMAP Client to use TLSv1 using the `tlsv1` value fixed this issue for me.

Apologies for the noise!
