[imapproxy-info] confused about using ssl...

[Ricardo Stella]

I think I answered my own question...

I set the config pointing to 143.  The webmail client would use plain
text connecting to localhost port 143.  imapproxy connects to port 143
on the real imap server, but uses STARTTLS and encrypts the session.

Please correct me if I'm wrong...
