[imp] c-client issues/questions

[Henry Blackman]

Which version of PHP are you using?  There is a known problem with 4.1.2
that it will always try to use SSL even if this doesn't work, if you check
the archives of the list you'll find the solution; from memory it means you
have to change the type of IMAP connection to 143/notls in your servers.php
file.

Nothing
