Well, first of all, unlike imap/imaps, there is no managesieves protocol 
that has SSL from the start. ManageSieve only uses TLS, as initiated 
with the STARTTLS command. Like for IMAP, the use of TLS can be forced 
by setting disable_plaintext_auth = yes. Then, the client cannot 
authenticate until it has established a TLS security layer. Note that 
this setting will not have an effect when you are connecting from the 
local host.
