The most common cause of this problem is failure to do
#include "linkage.c"
early in the main() function of the application (and prior to any c-client
library calls).
The use of linkage.c is mandatory. Some programmers omit the linkage
entirely; others attempt to do the linkage manually. Either way, they
come to grief.
If you are certain that you have included linkage.c in your main()
function, then the only other cause is that the IMAP software was built
without SSL.
Finally: in your example, neither the ":993", nor the "/imap", nor the
"INBOX" are necessary although they won't hurt. "/imap" is the default,
":993" is implied by "/ssl" for IMAP, and "INBOX" is also the default.
Hence
{imap.gmail.com/ssl}
is exactly equivalent to
{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX
but is much less typing.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for lunch.
