offlineimap/dovecot SSL error

["Todd A. Jacobs" <nospam@codegnome.org>]

I'm thinking the problem is offlineimap, but I don't really understand
what the error message is telling me. In .offlineimaprc, I have set "ssl
= yes" so I'm not sure what the problem could be. Can anyone shed some
light here?
