You've probably tried this so feel free to ignore me...or call me silly :)

Have you tried using the default standard certificate that is created when
you install Imail, rather than your own one?

We use SSL on port 8384 (we force SSL access to webmail from the Internet)
and it has always run perfectly.

Yes, it say "The Pass phrase entries are identical" and "Teh Key and
Certificate exist". I reentered them anyway, bounced Web Messaging, and get
a similar problem. They must have been identical, but wrong before. Now the
symptom is different.

So, I started over from the beginning. I Created a cert, I selected that
cert, I cycled Web Messaging, and now I get (from Firefox, IE still says
Server not found):
"mail.visioncomm.net has received an incorrect or unexpected message. Error
Code: -12227"

Firefox Sniffer trace says:

Me   4841>HTTPS SYN
Mail HTTPS>4841 SYN,ACK
Me   4841>HTTPS ACK
Me   SSLv2      Client Hello
Mail SSLv3      Server Hello, Certificate, Certificate Request, Server Hello
Done
Me   SSLv3      Encrypted Alert, Client Key Exchange, Change Cipher Spec,
Encrypted Handshake Message
Mail SSLv3      Alert (21) Level: Fatal (2), Description: Handshake Failure
(40)


Different? Yes. Better? No.

Interestingly, IE wants a CLIENT certificate, before failing to Handshake:

Me   4890>HTTPS SYN
Mail HTTPS>4890 SYN,ACK
Me   4890>HTTPS ACK
Me   SSLv2      Client Hello
Mail SSLv3      Server Hello, Certificate, Certificate Request, Server Hello
Done
Me   4890>HTTPS FIN,ACK
Mail HTTPS>4890 ACK
Mail HTTPS>4890 FIN

5 seconds go by as IE presents the "Choose a digital certificate" dialog.

Me   4891>HTTPS SYN
Mail HTTPS>4891 SYN,ACK
Me   4891>HTTPS ACK
Me   SSLv2      Client Hello
Mail SSLv3      Server Hello, Certificate, Certificate Request, Server Hello
Done
Me   SSLv3      Encrypted Alert, Client Key Exchange, Certificate verify,
change cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message
Mail SSLv3      Alert (21) Level: Fatal (2), Description: Bad Certificate
(42)

Does IMail require a Personal Certificate? Will that work with Firefox? Does
that have anything to do with this problem?

btw, this has not worked for me in many many releases. I believe I first
tried SSL about 18 months ago. I just figured it was something that didn't
work for anybody.

In the SSL configuration utility in the IMail program group, when you
selected the cert/key pair, did you re-enter the pass phrase? This needs
to be done.
