This looks like fetchmail talking SSL to a non-SSL port. Note that TLS is
not the same as SSL; TLS starts in cleartext and negotiate SSL while there
has been some protocol chit-chat, and SSL starts with the SSL negotiation
right away. TLS and SSL also use separate ports. TLS uses the regular
110/143 for POP3/IMAP, SSL uses 995/993 for POP3/IMAP.
