[Dovecot] Certificate Server name!

OK.
Can you tell me where I entered "mail.tib.com" server name when I created a
certificate? I do not remember. The only place I can think of is in
/etc/postfix:
myhostname = mail.tib.com
However, I did go back & changed it to:
myhostname = imap.tib.com
but the message did not go away!
Do I need to recreate the certificate? If yes, then how is it done?
I think I just installed & setup Postfix, Dovecot, but did not physically
created a certificate.
Is the certificate automatically created, from information in
/etc/postfix/main.cf, when Dovecot is setup? If that is the case, I can
uninstall Dovecot & re-install it unless there is an easy way.
Did I mention that I am pretty new to Postfix & Dovecot (and LINUX in
general).
Thanks.

Hi Kirt,
Easy! Either connect to imap.tib.com instead of mail.tib.com, or create
and install a new security certificate on the server which is for
mail.tib.com instead.
It's as simple as the message says - you've said your mail server is
called "mail.tib.com" but your installed security certificate is for
"imap.tib.com."
