Your imap/pop3 server claims to support TLS, but probably doesn't! You
can fix this by adding 'auth password' to your config file.

...

poll mail.csv.warwick.ac.uk
       auth password
       user 'csvgu' there with password '*******' is 'gareth' here
===============

Attached is a patch which changes the auth method to password if STLS
fails.
