 It is.  ICQ's servers were very recently split from AIM's, and most of
 ICQ's new servers do not support SSL.  There's nothing we can do about
 that.

 The only reason clientLogin works with the "Use encryption if available"
 setting is that the clientLogin method gives us the information we need to
 determine what servers we can or cannot connect to with SSL.  In effect,
 the only thing that uses SSL is the login process; the rest of the
 connection for ICQ is insecure.
