Description:
------------
I'd like to suggest adding a new option for the IMAP container:

imap_open allows to specify some flags in the $mailbox parameter (see www.php.net/imap_open, Table 1: "Optional flags for names")

Currently $dsn is build this way:
$dsn = '{'.$this->options['host'].':'.$this->options['port'].$this->options['baseDSN'].'}';

My suggestion: Use (new) $this->options['flags'] and do it this way:

$dsn = '{'.$this->options['host'].':'.$this->options['port'].$this->options['baseDSN'];
foreach ($this->options['flags'] as $flag) {
$dsn .= '/' . $flag;
}
$dsn .= '}';

This is especially usefull on errors with SSL certificate. With my addition one can pass $options = array('novalidate-cert) and there is no trouble with the certificate anymore.

I can provide a patch for current CVS version ...

This is what the baseDSN option is for

$params = array(
'host' => 'mail.example.com',
'port' => 143,
'baseDSN' => '/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert',
);
$myAuth = new Auth('IMAP', $params);
