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.
Actually, I find them fully supported on all the clients I tried! (Not that many to be fair)
I am using a godaddy cert with multiple names and it's working just find and dandy with Thunderbird and Apple Mail for example. I believe others have reported success with various microsoft PDA's also (which is encouraging)
Godaddy simply had the cheapest cert when I was looking around, but you still pay many $10s for a cert with 5 or so extra aliases
Wildcard certs may also work for you if you are *.domain, but in my case I needed various domain1.com domain2.com type options
Good luck
