I appear to have taken a mostly-working installation and mucked it up.
In my recent messages I mentioned how I was having difficuilty in making
my wife's email readable in Squirrelmail; this was solved with directory
permissions. However, my usual email client is Thunderbird; I was
holding off on using that as there appeared to be authentication issues.
Today was my opportunity to start debugging those; it occurred to me that
I might have issues with PKI and tried to make/install working
certificates.
When this didn't work, I though to just scrub the installation and start over. On my CentOS 7 system I erased and reinstalled from RPM. With what should have been working certificates, I ran through the config files, and then restarted to the following error:

I tried talking to IMAP directly as per the website, but was unable to make it crash (and I don't know enough IMAP to do anything more than the exmaple commands).
I don't know what else to include... Thank you, -Don
