This is what I did. I obtained a certificate from this site:
https://www.sslforfree.com
They provided 3 files:
certificate.crt
private.key
which make perfect sense as replacement for the 2 files provided by the
distribution. I am guessing that I need somehow to append the 3rd file
(ca_bundle.crt) to the first one? In order to raise its credibility?
TIA

This is a followup to my thread "Recommended Protocols?".
The error message is as follows:
dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: TLS: SSL_read() failed: SSL
routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate: SSL alert number 42
I have selected both SSL/TLS and STARTTLS on the Thunderbird side, with
identical results.
The first question that I have is this. Is there any way to know whether that
error messages comes from an attempt to read:
(a) The server SSL certificate?
(b) The client SSL certificate?
Please find attached 2 log files. I am essentially using the distribution files
as they come from the box.

While bit confusing, this actually means the client did not trust the server
certificate. Usually because you forgot the chain certs from the cert file.
