Amazing how much progess can be made in a minute.  Thank you very  
much.  I did miss that line in the docs.  I've moved on to a slightly  
different error, but it's probably going to be easier for me to sort  
this one out.  I have to go to out, so I'll read up on it and try it  
when I get back.

I'm going to guess I have a ssl version/imap version issue to sort  
out.  I'm trying to connect from a macbook to this server.

Thank You!!!
