I stand corrected, Mail.app is using SSL (or at least, that's the
only option in the account settings). After changing Thunderbird to
use SSL, it makes a successful connection. I'm curious though; I
have verbose_ssl enabled, and all I see is that a TLS login was
completed. Why does it say TLS, if it's really using SSL? Why do we
not see any additional information about the session?
