Can I ask how you got OE to not give the warning? I've been trying to get this working for a couple of weeks now using self-generated SSL certs with no luck.

Thanks

James, et al,

I manually created my IMAP and ESMTP certs by running the mk*cert scripts in /usr/lib/courier/share *after* altering /usr/lib/courier/etc/imapd.cnf (and the others) to use the proper FQDN name of my server rather than the default "localhost"

On M$ windows (this is for OE of course), open IE.

https://yourserver.yourdomain.com:993 (993 is for IMAP, just select the appropriate port for the particular protocol)

IE will display a warning. Click "view certificate" on the next pop up box, select "install certificate"

the next wizard that opens, choose "place all certificates in the following share" and choose "trusted root authorities" (thus, it's nice if your self signed cert has the correct hostname associated with it)

once complete, no more security errors on outlook express.

Repeat for ESMTP (port 465), etc.

Works like a charm. of course, YMMV :-)

Hope that helps, andy
