Okay, forget some of that. I'm an idiot. For some reason I had it in my
head I could/should use starttls, but that is not supported by the
server so I'm wrong.

Using nnimap-stream ssl results in the following

What is this "local issuer certificate"? How can I get it?

Hi Gary,
You seem to be working on a Windows platform. I am having trouble to use
startls-cli, since both, the official Windows binary as well as Gnus,
seem to be rather unflexible with respect to CRLF handling -- and they
disagree in places.
I have had a brief exchange about this with Simon Josefsson either here
or on the xemacs-beta list, but I can't find the messgages ATM.
