Actually, SSL support is the default. The package options are to
disable it with

   IMAP_UW_NO_SSL=YES make install

or prohibit cleartext entirely with

   IMAP_UW_NO_CLEARTEXT=yes make install

(but I prefer to set such things myself in "/etc/mk.conf".)

'STARTTLS' is the new name of what used to be called 'SSL'.

First

     cp /usr/share/examples/openssl/openssl.cnf /etc/openssl/openssl.cnf

With that, the command you gave leads to an interactive dialog for
creating the certificate.
