read this: http://binblog.info/2010/02/02/lengthy-chains/

basically, you start with YOUR cert
and work you way up to the root CA with

openssl x509 -in your_servers.{crt|pem} -subject -issuer > server-
allinone.crt

openssl x509 -in intermediate_authority.{crt|pem} -subject -issuer >>
server-allinone.crt

openssl x509 -in root_ca.{crt|pem} -subject -issuer >> server-allinone.crt

then, in dovecot.conf
---8<---
ssl_cert_file = /path/to/server-allinone.crt
ssl_key_file = /path/to/private.key
---8<---

It works for me but YMMV of course.
Androids before 2.2 do not have startcom as a trusted CA and will
complain anyhow.
