IMAP checker via SSL

[newdep]

I dont know but perhpas handy to have for those who are in need of it.

A simple unseen IMAP SSL checkup. Im using it in an automated cycle that

pops up a message to the screen every 5 minutes.. you can rebuild it to you own taste.

Not all error checking is included but works for me..

Enjoy.. and ..btw it doesn't work with gmail.
