SSL is working very well for me. I used
the mkcert.sh script that comes with Dovecot - although I changed
it a bit to make a certificate that
lasts a year instead of one month.
Mozilla, Outlook Express, Lotus Notes
- all using SSL on port 993 to communicate with Dovecot and
working fine.
It _did_ take some work to get Dovecot
to compile with SSL support, but it turns out that my SSL_dev
package was not installed properly.
(I had such a problem finding the header files that were needed
that I completely upgraded the whole
of Linux on that machine and then installed the DEV code
from a package).
Once that was done, I could coax Dovecot
into compiling with SSL.
Now it works very well. Mozilla in particular
immediately asks me if I want to accept the certificate
permanently or temorarily - Outlook
and Notes use IE's certificate store - for that I needed to tell
my users to surf to https://server.com:993
- and then IE would pick up the certificate and let them add it
to their trusted store.
I don't know about the Mozilla error
below, I didn't get that.

I can say that I too have never been able to get IMAPS working with
dovecot, with both self-signed generated .pem files and my apache SSL
keys. I have that same error message with Mozilla Mail 1.2.1 and
1.4b.
