This probably means that you're using TLS and not STARTTLS, so
tls-program is used.

Since it's TLS, it's port 993.  If you want STARTTLS, you should
probably say `(nnimap-stream starttls)', which will make it connect to
the normal imap port instead of imaps.

nnimap should do some probing, however, to automate this.

gnutls-cli is probably failing because you're not using --insecure, so
it's falling through to the openssl s_client, would be my guess.  Do you
have that installed?
