Nothing after this?  No response to the LOGIN command?  The IMAP trace
looked fine until then.  Perhaps your 'startls' binary is broken?
Type 'starttls mail1.kens.com 143' and type '. starttls' into it, do
'kill -ALRM <pidofstarttls>' and then type '. capability' followed by
'login myusername yourpassword'.  You should be logged in then.

Looks fine too, the only reason I can find is that 'starttls' somehow
dies after a while.
