My first thought was that perhaps they stopped supporting SSL-wrapped IMAP,
but the online docs still say they do.  So unless the docs are
wrong/out-of-date, my next guess would be that they're having temporary
problems.

How long have you been trying and failing to connect?  Can you try from
another network in case you've been firewalled/blocked?
