when i configured my emails to fetch using imap ssl there was an error:
Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" ...
the problem was xampp (windows). thnx to GOD .. yes that's right, GOD :-)
1. Stop the Apache service
2. Copy libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll from your ..xampp/php folder to your ..xampp/apache/bin folder, overwriting the older files there
3. Edit the ..xampp/apache/bin/php.ini and uncomment the “;extension=php_openssl.dll” (remove the semicolon at the start of the line)
4. Start the Apache service
