1. How did you configure your thunderbird to access server, via direct
connection or over SSL/TLS connection?


I assume you use over SSL/TLS connection, because port 993 is normally
used for it.  If that is correct, please answer below questions too.

2. What is the result of the below code? (C-x C-e at the last paren.)

(nth 3 (assoc "!" elmo-network-stream-type-alist))

3. Do you have required program?

answer of Q2        required external program
open-gnutls-stream  no external program is required
open-tls-stream     gnutls-cli
open-ssl-stream     openssl

4. Can you access your server over SSL/TLS with no problem?

(progn
  (require 'gnutls)
  (open-gnutls-stream "gnutls-tests" nil "server123" 993))

or

$ gnutls-cli --port 993 server123

or 

$ openssl s_client -connect server123:993


5. Evaluate the below code and retry to access your folder
"%inbox:user123/login@server123:993!"  (the last "!" is needed).  And,
tell me the content of the buffer "*IMAP4 DEBUG*"

(setq elmo-imap4-debug t)
