I didn't notice anyone answering so here goes. I don't know about 
ssleay but this is how we do it with stunnel/apache/mod_ssl (this does 
not require a SSL-aware IMAP server):

- Compile stunnel both on client and server (naturalyl)

- IMAP server:
	stunnel -p <serverkey.pem> -d imaps -r localhost:imap

- IMP client:
	stunnel -c -d imap -r <imap-server>:imaps

- /etc/services:

	imap2           143/tcp         imap            
	imap2           143/udp         imap
	imaps           993/tcp                  # IMAP SSL

- And on IMP client your IMAP server is 'localhost', port 143.

And that just works.
