If you use SSL tunnel setting ('Use SSL for IMAP4 connection' etc.),
any of SSLv3, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 will be used depending on servers.
(requires OpenSSL 1.0.1 or higher to support TLSv1.1/1.2)

If you use STARTTLS command setting
('Use STARTTLS command to start SSL session' etc.),
only TLSv1.0 will be used.
(I think this should be fixed)

This is because I couldn't come up with a smart UI design for the
nested AND/OR conditions.

There seems to be no option of chosing just a two-panel display (a list of mailboxes to the left and a list of the messages in the currently selected mailbox to the right).

For the latter, click the arrow button at the right-down corner of the
message list (summary) view, or 'View - Show or hide - Message view' menu
to toggle it.
