imap port doesn't work either, so probably starttls is not
supported.

Marcus pointed me to
<URL:http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html> and I found a
working ssl client.
Now, I'm able to move one step further: the stream comes up. However,
emacs seems to hang at that point. I followed the code, and it appears
to be looping inside imap-open-ssl at the following lines (marked
with -->):
(with-current-buffer buffer
(goto-char (point-min))
--> (while (and (memq (process-status process) '(open run))
--> (set-buffer buffer) ;; XXX "blue moon" nntp.el bug
--> (goto-char (point-max))
--> (forward-line -1)
--> (not (imap-parse-greeting)))
--> (not (imap-parse-greeting)))
--> (accept-process-output process 1)
--> (sit-for 1))
I'm not sure what it is waiting on. In the *imap* <server> bufer, I see:
* OK Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 IMAP4rev1 server version 6.5.7638.1 (<server>) ready.
But, nothing after that. So, it appears that the stream was opened, but
gnus is expecting something it doesn't get.
Any ideas?
