My understanding (and again, I know very little about these things) is
that the two programs are roughly equivalent: they handle creating and
checking TLS certificates, and creating and handling TLS-encrypted
connections to remote servers.

I actually was just assuming you are using gnutls, you can probably
check the libgnutls-version. You can also try setting gnutls-log-level
to 3 or 4 and fetching mail, and see if anything interesting pops up in
*Messages*.

The bad news is that I tried this:

gnutls-cli --port 995 pop.zoho.com

And it connected just fine. You might try that, and going through with
the login procedure.

Otherwise, I might be fresh out of helpful!
