[imp] PHP 4.1.2 changed IMAP and breaks IMP [was Re: [imp] Login problem narrowed down.]

[Mike Baptiste]

FOr IMP v2.2.x, I changed the port variable in my servers config file

I simply changed 143 to '143/notls' and I was able to login again.

So if you have a c-client compiled for SSL and you build PHP 4.1.x for 
SSL imap, you have to include the notls option in any server you access 
via the non SSL port (143)  At least that was what I had to do to get my 
IMP installations working again with non SSL IMAP ports.
