Title:
   SSL requested but SSL support not compiled in

Status in “git” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Whilst configuring git imap-send I discovered there is no support for
  secure encrypted access to the IMAP server when using a secure IMAP
  connection:

  imap.host=imaps://host.domain

  git format-patch HEAD^ --stdout | git imap-send
  Resolving host.domain... ok
  Connecting to [1.2.3.4]:993... SSL requested but SSL support not compiled in
  read: Bad file descriptor
  failed to open store

  My IMAP server is configured to use TLS on port 993 (or STARTTLS on
  143) but refuses unencrypted connections.

  Looking at the source it seems the configure option NO_OPENSSL=1 has
  been set since the debian packaging was first added:

  commit 5ae232d7d6b8fa456b4b74df9ec7e87df51dcf05

      Add debian/ subdirectory, 1.5.1.4-1.

  Although relatively unused it would be preferable to support encrypted
  connections in this way - after all, it does support direct
  connections using SSH.

  Removal of NO_OPENSSL=1 from 'debian/rules' OPTS variable and adding
  libssl-dev to 'debian/control' Build-Depends results in a correct
  build and functioning TLS:

  git format-patch HEAD^ --stdout | /home/all/SourceCode/git/git-packaging/git-imap-send
  Resolving host.domain... ok
  Connecting to [1.2.3.4]:993... ok
  Logging in...
  Password (user at host.domain):
  sending 1 message
   100% (1/1) done

  *note: git-imap-send doesn't support STARTTLS on unencrypted port 143
  - it must connect to an implicitly encrypted port (IMAPS on port 993).

  The openssl package is in the 'main' component. Is there any reason
  why OpenSSL support cannot be configured in?
