Boolean command line config arguments do not work correctly

I'm passing --imap.secure=false as a command line argument, but the server starts with TLS enabled anyway. Am I missing something?

info IMAP Secure IMAP Server listening on 0.0.0.0:143

I'm not sure what is happening with the config parser but when using this way, the --imap.secure=false gets turned into {imap: {secure: "false"}} which is actually truthy. Using --imap.secure=0 seems to do the trick

You can debug configuration loading like this:

$ NODE_CONFIG_ONLY=true node server.js --imap.secure=0

this way the application prints out active configuration and exits immediately.

I see! Thanks for the workaround and the config debug option. That's very helpful.
