What happens when you use the above command line to manually connect
to the IMAP server?  You'll need to replace %s and %p with proper
values, of course.

(After connecting to the server, I always issue "1 logout"...)

I don't see that buffer in the list.  Do I need to set a flag in order to get
logging to that buffer setup?

Are there any packages for emacs that I might need for this to work correctly?
Is there something that doesn't come with the source that the other distro
might've put in there for me?

Thanks!

No, it's the buffer that nnimap uses internally for communication
with the server.  So it seems that things fail quite early on.  Hm.

Have you tried the openssl command from M-x shell RET yet?  Maybe
that fails in some instructive way.

You could also search in the imap.el or nnimap.el source code to
figure out which Lisp statements opens the connection (look for
start-process).  Maybe something useful happens if you try that
statement manually.

I updated ssl.el from the Gnus CVS and it works!  Thank you SO much!  I 
guess the other distro must've known what the problem was and corrected for
it...

Thanks again!

  FWIW, Gnus and w3 ships different versions of ssl.el.  The one in w3
  has a higher version number though.

Erm... and here I thought I could blame the Emacs guys! It seems I was
mistaken. I got it from W3, which I haven't updated for some time.
