Telnet is nice program that allows us to create a TCP socket connection with a server and then interact with the server on the terminal. This ofcourse does not work when the server uses SSL. That is where openssl comes to the rescue.
openssl s_client -connect imap.gmail.com:993
Similarly an SSL server can be cooked up instantaneously -
openssl genrsa 1024 > key
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key key > cert
openssl s_server -accept 12345 -cert cert -key key
openssl s_client -connect imap.gmail.com:993
