In the /usr/lib/courier/share directory there are three certificates in PEM format: emstpd.pem, imapd.pem and pop3d.pem. These are the certificates that courier uses for those three services. (They are generated automatically if they don't exist.) You need to replace these with your own certificate so that courier will use it. (If you have one certificate that you want to use for all three then symlink those three files to your certificate.)

You need two items in the your certificate file. You need your certificate in PEM format and you need your private key. Neither of these can be passphrase protected. In my case when I created my private key I did passphrase protect it so I had to run it back through openssl to remove the passphrase. Then you can simply 'cat' your private key to the end of your certificate file. So the certificate file looks like this:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ... -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

If you've got those two elements in there it should work.

Hope that helps.
