Isn't the problem in libtinymail rather than in modest? I think libtinymail should enable TLS on SSL connections too. I've built current libtinymail git and it fails to connect on a !SSLv2 !SSLv3 enabled dovecot as you described. Applying this patch:

allows it to connect again (on port 993). I haven't had a chance to test this on fremantle. Anybody around that can test this on freemantle?

The idea came from evolution's libcamel which has the same issue:
