That's one of the options in the drop-down list used to create a new
account.  Be it POP3, IMAP4, SMTP or NNTP.  In your case, the account
should be of type IMAP4.  Check in Configuration->"Edit accounts..." to
be sure.

And, as mentioned by Richard, you hit "save" I hope.

Strange that both CM & Sylpheed should fail.  Whilst they've diverged
quite a way, account settings are broadly similar.  As a result, I
suspect finding the problem in one will give the solution for the other.

TBH, I'm starting to run out of ideas.  If only because I don't use IMAP
so am not fully conversant with its foibles.
