[Dovecot] SSL_accept failed

[Timothy Martin]

Morgan,

I looked at your server (amethyst) using "openssl s_client" and  
compared it to mine, and they appear exactly the same. Is that the  
server to which you connect with Apple Mail successfully?

FYI: my server is running FreeBSD 4.11 (if it matters)

I don't even get to this point. I don't get the cert warning dialog  
with my dovecot server (i do for courier) -- the activity window just  
shows it trying to synchronize for a very long time with no success.

These are indeed the settings I am using as well, except my port is  
different because my production server is using 993.
