I finally found something about this and fixed the problem 
referencing this e-mail:

You need to add /novalidate-cert and/or /notls to your protocol as
documented in horde/imp/config/servers.php. 

/notls should tell it not to negotiate ssl, which should solve the
problem
for you.  If not, or if you want to use ssl, then use /novalidate-cert
so it won't fail on the self-signed certificate.
------------------

But according to the documentation (and the fact that this was working 2
days ago) it says:
-snippet from imp/config/servers.php-
* protocol: One of 'imap/notls' (or only 'imap' if you have a   
* c-client version 2000c or older)
-end snippet-

Well i never had this specified and i'm running 2001a of imap.. and its
worked for well over a year...

so beats the heck out of me.. but now i've got a db problem *grumble*
