You'll need to review and modify /etc/dovecot.conf - either comment out 
the imaps requirement for service, or generate a valid SSL certificate 
(do a google search for openssl generate certificate). If you don't plan 
on running SSL secured services, it's easier to turn them off in the 
configuration.
