Perhaps you might be interested in these commands.  I'm not sure about their portability but they work tolerably well in scripts on Mac OS X 10.6.

$ openssl s_client -connect yourhost:imap -starttls imap
$ openssl s_client -connect yourhost:pop3 -starttls pop3

$ openssl s_client -connect yourhost:imaps
$ openssl s_client -connect yourhost:pop3s

$ openssl s_client -connect yourhost:smtp -starttls smtp
