I just checked in code that enables you to read IMAP email over SSL in 
Chandler. To test, you need to edit chandler/parcels/osaf/mail/parcel.xml:

     <content:host>YOUR IMAP SERVER NAME HERE</content:host>
     <content:username>YOUR USERNAME HERE</content:username>
     <content:password>YOUR PASSWORD HERE</content:password>
     <content:portSSL>993 (OR IF YOU USE SOME OTHER PORT, CHANGE 
ACCORDINGLY)</content:portSSL>
     <content:useSSL>SSL</content:useSSL>

Then, launch Chandler and from the menus do Test > Get Mail.

Please note that this is not yet very secure. We use the default SSL 
context settings, and we do hardly any certificate checking.

If you notice any problems, let me know.
