Yet again does Courier do strange things. When using NSS this is what you will see on the log.
Servers like Cyrus and Dovecot work perfectly though.

- status changed from new to closed.
- resolution set to fixed.

I'm not seeing this with newer versions of courier. Assuming the defect is at the Courier side of the story. Therefore closing. Feel free to reopen if you care about this.
Note that users who picked the "always" option of the "use_ssl" option flags for accounts (you can do this with the gconf account store implementations) will not see this problem. That's because the "always" "use_ssl" option will let it use non-TLS or SSL wrapped mode over port 993. The "use_ssl" "when-possible" method will use the STARTTLS over port 143 method (typical modern TLS usage).
It's advisable to use "when-possible" and only "always" if that didn't work.
