Aren't you using "ssl" as nnimap-stream? If so, please check
`imap-ssl-program' to find out how openssl is called. By default, this
variable is set as following.

'("openssl s_client -quiet -ssl3 -connect %s:%p"
  "openssl s_client -quiet -ssl2 -connect %s:%p"
  "s_client -quiet -ssl3 -connect %s:%p"
  "s_client -quiet -ssl2 -connect %s:%p")

In this case, openssl is called with "-quiet" argument, which also make
openssl ignore eof, so that it works fine.
