Well, I have an SSL cert for the web server using the same name as the IMAP server, but courier does not like the certificate format of my regular web SSL cert... Not sure what the problem is. The cert I generate with that command is notably different from the one I generated for courier, it seems to have the private key and public key in the same file.
