Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior
I expect that K9-mail will accept the imap settings on port 993.
Actual behavior
I get an error

Research direction
Start with the K-9 Mail account setup flow and reproduce the incoming IMAP configuration using port 993 on the reported Android environment. Compare the resulting error with the expected acceptance of the settings, and investigate further with logs or server details since none are provided. Done means a valid IMAP configuration using port 993 can be accepted without the reported error.
