[Dovecot] Restrict Imap access
Hello. I need to restrict access to IMAP ports to a few users, so that all users can use POP3 and just a few of them will be able to access IMAP. I use secure connections POP3s and IMAPs. Is it possible?
Also... When I connect to the Dovecot server using Outlook (IMAPs) I get a Warning message,something like: "The server you are connectiing to uses a non verified protection certificate. A chain of certificates ...so on ( I can't translate :) ) Continue using the server? " How can I fix that warning? Thanks

Since this seems to get asked often enough, I added to wiki:

It's because you use a self signed certificate. Either create your own CA and import it to windows, or pay some real CA for a certificate. Web should be full of HOWTOs on this subject (I don't know any good ones currently though, would be nice if someone wrote to wiki.dovecot.org about it too).
Thanks a lot,I think I found everything I want there. Thanks again Sergiu
