IMAPS -DISCONNECT BEFORE HELO- After lollipop update

[daboomer]

A functioning IMAPS account no longer connects after Note4 update to Lollipop. IMAP SSL 993,SMTP 465, accept any certificate. Worked right up until lollipop.
I run the email server and its' logs show "Disconnect Before HELO" on IMAP and "No HELO" on SMTP

Lollipop has some serious changes in its SSL stack, and it can't connect to some servers (mail, web, etc) that previous Android versions could connect to.

This is a system level issue, not app level.

For the record, in my Dovecot config (Dovecot 1:2.1.7-7+deb7u1) I have:

# SSL protocols to use
ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3

But trying to tweak the ciphers causes SSL failures, so I ended up commenting it out:

#ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!EXP:!aNULL
