Ok, I always configures IMAPs with usage of port 993, simply because
otherwise you can't force the users to use the secured connection.
I don't actually have an imapd listening on _either_ port 143 or 993.
Instead, mail clients are configured to 'ssh $mailserver exec imapd' and
authentication is done by ssh-agent/ssh-askpass.
This works fine with Evolution, Pine, Mutt, etc., and I can even use
'ssh -C' to get compression as an added bonus... does it work with
Thunderbird?
