Patch for PHP --with-imap-ssl

[Fritz Zaucker]

Apparently PHP from version 4.1.something tries to connect to the IMAP
server over SSL if the protocol string is set to 'imap' and not only if set
to 'imap/ssl'. PHP can be forced to use imap without ssl by specifying
'imap/notls' as protocol.

1) I think the comments in servers.php should be changed to reflect this:

   - * protocol is one of 'imap', 'pop3', 'imap/ssl', or 'pop3/ssl'. If
   + * protocol is one of 'imap/notls', 'pop3', 'imap/ssl', or 'pop3/ssl'. If

   This also works on a PHP that uses an non-ssl-enabled c-client.

2) The select box for change_protocol in templates/login/login.inc should
   also be changed:


-            <option value="imap"<?php if ($protocol == 'imap') echo ' selected="selected"' ?>>IMAP</option>
+            <option value="imap/notls"<?php if ($protocol == 'imap') echo ' selected="selected"' ?>>IMAP</option>

Or am I missing something?

Best regards,
Fritz

P.S.: Another option might be to check in lib/IMP.php if protocol is 'imap'
      and change it there to 'imap/notls'.
