One question though... before I accept the certificate, i get warnings. One says the cert is not trusted (which is fine - it's self-signed). The other warning, however, mentions a hostname mismatch. Is there any way to put all of the hostnames we'll ever use into that certificate, so regardless of whether people are access "mail.domain", "pop3.domain" or "imap.domain", the hostname mismatch does not occur?
There is a way to add 'alternate names', but I don't think TBird (or most other Clients) will recognize them. You could also create a wildcard self-signed cert, but I think TBird will still give that error...
Of course, for TBird, you could install the 'remember mismatched domains' extension so you can make that 'error' go away...
