I forgot to mention earlier than the system is FreeBSD 6.2 p8. The problem seems to be specific to imapd-ssl running on port 993. I didn't spend a lot of time troubleshooting different clients. Previous to the update, I used Thunderbird with SSL/port 993 without problems. Strangely, Korn (KDE mail notifier) seemed to work okay on port 993. It could be a client thing but I suspect they just default to different SSL versions. TLS works just fine on port 143, which is the configuration I've been meaning to switch to for some time. The update forced the issue and thus, this problem is not really one anymore. But for those who are still using imaps on port 993, the update (either the courier-imap update or the SSL update) may cause some problems. Thanks.
