Yes, there is such an option, it does work, but it doesn't do what you 
think it does. In fact, it's almost the reverse - it forces NO TLS 
encryption (on a standard SMTP/POP3/IMAP connection on ports 25/110/143) 
and therefore almost guarantees that you WILL see the [INSECURE] prompt, 
since you have forced your connection to be insecure.

I don't know if any way to disable that [INSECURE] prompt, other than to 
use TLS or SSL, sorry.

Cheers, Chris.
