This came up recently - I believe you need to put ssl_listen into the protocol 
section.  A quick search the archives suggests:

protocol imap {
     listen = 127.0.01:143
     ssl_listen = *:10993
}

So, IMAP is only listened for on the local address, whereas IMAPS is listened 
for on any address, on the non-standard port 10993.

Does this help?
