Gotcha.

So, the problem is with one imap server that is not under your control,
correct? What IMAP options are you using in your .muttrc?
I'm assuming (from the context) that they're running a non-ssl secured
IMAP server and are advertising STARTTLS, right? If so, you may want to
try putting the following in your .muttrc:
#v+
set ssl_starttls=no
#v-
And try to connect. Just a WAG, but it might help.
