Hi All: This is a note of thanks to the several folks who offered suggestions for resolving my frustration with Apple Mail. I'm not sure who's suggestion did the magic, but the issue is now seemingly well resolved. Sending and recieving mail is working as expected.
As I say, I'm not sure what the exact trigger was that caused my account to update its SSL data. I rather think accessing my domain web page with Safari may have actually been that trigger. In any case this is probably worth a bug report should anyone know where to file that. Details showed that OS X was aware the old cert had been revoked, but that didn't seem to be enough to trigger an attempt to check for a newer cert as it should have.
