    Im not sure how to configure imapd, other than recompile it, which I also
    don't know how to do. I can telnet to it at 143, but not 993. But on port 143
    I cannot connect.

    When I issued the cert, I did not configure it to for a particular port.

    There are 3 imapd.pem files.
    1. imapd.pem (which was already there)
    2. imapd-192.xxx.xxx.xxx.pem which I issued
    3. imapd-jjfiii.com.pem also which I issued, as per the Suse web instructions

    At this point I'm not sure it matters which port I connect to (143 or 993), as
    long as the cert is working OK. It seems to be listenting on 143 and not 993,
    why I don't know.

    I beleive you did say you have it working, so that gives me hope.

    Thanks for the help.
