[ale] PHP Challenge - Any takers?

[Yu, Jerry]

you need to use this option right after the password argument: excerpts from
imap_open()'s man page, 
'/novalidate-cert'	do not validate certificates from TLS/SSL server,
needed if server uses self-signed certificates"

# I'm having a similar issue myself.  It's just something that I'm 
# tinkering with during downtime (i.e. has no real priority), 
# so I've not 
# spent any real time tinkering with it.  It is comforting to know that 
# it's not just me, though.
