Hmmmm... check if you can connect manually from the shell:
$ openssl s_client -quiet -ssl3 -connect mail.messagingengine.com:993
Once you are connected, type the following command:
. LOGIN poenikatu@operamail.com <passwd>
to see if there is any problem login in. Note the initial period and the
space between it and the `LOGIN' command.
