Well, 993 is for IMAP under TLS wrapper, and 995 for POP3 under TLS
wrapper, or you tell that tool to do starttls and use 110 (POP3) or 143
(IMAP).

Resorting to HTTP may or may not work - there may be transparent
proxies, different certificate configuration for web vs. mail service,
so the results may not transfer.

995 might be POP3, or you could run gnutls or openssl such that they try
starttls.
