You haven't read your documentation then.  TLS can not be used with  
PHP 4.4.2.  You need at least PHP 5.1.0.  And SSL won't work unless  
you compile ssl into PHP.

test.php only uses the c-client imap functions to connect.  When  
logging in we also use our PHP-code IMP_IMAPClient to connect, which  
has some limitations (which unfortunately we can not do anything about).

Upgrade to IMP 4.1.2.  There have been numerous improvements to our  
IMP_IMAPClient library between the two versions.
