But imaps is not the same as imap/tls.

If you search the archives, you'll find a recipe from me for using 
a chrooted stunnel as an imap proxy which can do starttls negotiation. You 
can vary the flags which it is given at startup so that starttls can be 
optional or compulsory depending on the connecting address.
