The CN of the certificate must match the hostname you entered into Outlook
and OE's imap configuration. In other words, if you told Outlook the name of
the IMAP server is imap.blahblah.com, then the cert must have a CN of
imap.blahblah.com. If you put 1.2.3.4 in Outlook, the the CN must say
1.2.3.4.
