This was also included in the patch I submitted for Auth_IMAP some time ago. I send the patch to Yavor aswell(mailed on 30-8-2003), but from what I can see in the CVS this patch hasn't been applied yet. The patch made those checks optional, and made SSL connections to the IMAP server possible. If anyone wants it, I can send the patch to them, but I'm still waiting for Yavor to apply the patch to the CVS, and, hopefully, release a new version of it sometime soon :) Cipriano
