If Opera is using TLS (as opposed to IMAP over SSL) then it *should*
be connecting to port 143, then issuing a STARTTLS.

By chance is your IMAP server trying to use the TLS client cert for
authentication?  If you haven't issues the certs for that purpose
(like we haven't here at UF, no PKI) then that would fail.

I think I remember seeing that a self-signed client cert would fail
TLS negotiation because a failed TLS authentication would cause the
whole negotiation to fail.  Now I can't remember why I was even
looking at it...
