I have never had this problem (but I don't use SSL much)

if you are upgrading I have had to abandon the latest version of 
mozilla(1.2b) as I can't see the imap folders on my mailserver


I'm not sure how widespread this problem is but it has been reported
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131938

so don't use 1.2b if you need imap
