That sounds like an stunnel problem, but it could be something else,
especially if it worked under VM 8.1.93a.

The thing to do would be set the variable vm-imap-keep-trace-buffer to t,
and, once the connection fails, look for a buffer with a name "trace of
IMAP...".  That shows the dialogue that was carried out with the IMAP server.

If you have changed stunnel recently, then it would be worth going back to
the old version.  You would need to change one parameter at a time to track
down the problem.
