Segfoults and any other crashes

That means mail traffic is passing transparent proxy server which doesn't understand 'auth plain' option, ask your network administrator for more info.

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (unknown protocol)

No solution yet...

I had this same problem and it turned out that i was using the wrong imap port as for ssl authentication you need to use port 993 or 995.
