Since this seems to get asked often enough, I added to wiki:

It's because you use a self signed certificate. Either create your own
CA and import it to windows, or pay some real CA for a certificate. Web
should be full of HOWTOs on this subject (I don't know any good ones
currently though, would be nice if someone wrote to wiki.dovecot.org
about it too).
