Howdy -- do you see any errors in your /var/log/mail.log file, or perhaps in /var/log/auth.log? One of those may have a more detailed description of what the problem is.

Also, when connecting to port 993, what error do you receive after choosing to continue past the certificate warning?

Lastly, are you using SSL or TLS to connect? If none of the above helps, you might try switching which encryption protocol you're using (which should be a setting in your email client).
