support for starttls

[dtk]

Hey guys,

I tried to use offlineimap[0] with an IMAP server that only[1][2] speaks
STARTTLS and got the known 'unknown protocol' error[3] when specifying
remoteport = 143 and ssl = yes.

I read about a patch here[4], but it doesn't seem to have made it into the vcs?

I applied the patch against v6.3.2, but it didn't go well[5] ;P so I thought I'd
just ask about the state of STARTTLS support in offlineimap? Did I mess it up?
Is it the server? Are there any plans to support it?

Thanks for your support
dtk
