Do you have ssl.el in your load-path?

So, what is the problem?  You can't open the server?

Does invoking `/usr/mill/bin/openssl s_client -ssl3 -connect
imap.eecs.berkeley.edu:993' from the command line work?

No, the SSL stuff used by nnimap doesn't try to validate certificates
unless you configure it to (see `ssl.el').
