[Dovecot] ssl still not working

[leslie_viljoen at icoc.org]

SSL is working very well for me. I used the mkcert.sh script that comes 
with Dovecot - although I changed
it a bit to make a certificate that lasts a year instead of one month.

Mozilla, Outlook Express, Lotus Notes - all using SSL on port 993 to 
communicate with Dovecot and
working fine.

It _did_ take some work to get Dovecot to compile with SSL support, but it 
turns out that my SSL_dev
package was not installed properly. (I had such a problem finding the 
header files that were needed
that I completely upgraded the whole of Linux on that machine and then 
installed the DEV code
from a package).
Once that was done, I could coax Dovecot into compiling with SSL.

Now it works very well. Mozilla in particular immediately asks me if I 
want to accept the certificate
permanently or temorarily - Outlook and Notes use IE's certificate store - 
for that I needed to tell
my users to surf to https://server.com:993 - and then IE would pick up the 
certificate and let them add it
to their trusted store.

I don't know about the Mozilla error below, I didn't get that.

I can say that I too have never been able to get IMAPS working with
dovecot, with both self-signed generated .pem files and my apache SSL
keys.  I have that same error message with Mozilla Mail 1.2.1 and 1.4b.
