    I believe, you mixed something up here. I'm not talking about a
    certificate to sign (or encrypt) S/MIME mails with. I'm talking about
    a ssl client certificate to identify myself to the imap server. This
    technique provides stronger security than a password alone, because
    the server will only accept a connection from a client after it has
    verified the validity of the client's certificate.

    Regards,
    Jim
