openssl problem



I'm trying to access my IMAPS (dovecot) server on my laptop
while on holiday.
But when I run kmail I get the message
"Could not connect to host <myserver>".
Both server and laptop are running Fedora 7 + KDE.

I suspect the problem lies in my openssl setup,
as when I run
openssl s_client -ssl2 -crlf -host <myserver> -port 993
I get no response - the program just waits until I press ctrl-C.

I have a peephole opened at port 993 on my server,
and iptables should let this through -
I am running shorewall, and have
IMAPS/ACCEPT net $FW
in /etc/shorewall/rules on the server.

When I
telnet <server> 993
I just get the response "Trying <server IP>"
and nothing more (until I press ctrl-C).

As is probably obvious, I am fairly ignorant about all this.
I can access my server with ssh, and so can change anything there.

Any suggestions or advice gratefully received.
