you are making it hard to impossible to help you if you are mixing servers and
their responses and port 993 will *never ever* show STARTTLS because it is
IMAPS which enforces a encrypted connection and *not* STARTTLS where the
inital connection is unencrpyted by design

so *please* stay at *one* config, *one* machine and *one* port for debugging

if the machine in question announces STARTTLS on port 143 it should work
and that is why i asked if *a different client* than a iPhone is using
STARTTLS on *that* machine with *that config*
