I'd tend to think option A is more likely. I have been
playing with pop and imap over ssl with Outlook for a
while and have not found it to do anything other than
throw warnings that you can then accept or decline
(this is with newer versions of Outlook and Express).
Specifically, if the CN on the certificate is not
exactly the same as the server name entered in Outlook
config, Outlook throws an warning. It throws a
different warning if the cert is self-signed (but
either way you can still accept it).
To install a self-signed cert on your client computers,
save the certificate as mycert.crt and then double
click it in Windows. Click Install Certificate and
pretty much accept the defaults. It should then let you
use a self-signed cert with no warnings.
You can view the certs you have installed or add/remove
them from within IE's ToolsInternet Options or from
the certificate manager in XP.
Hope that helps.

Basically i start up imapd-ssl.rc and pop3-ssl.rc
and when i try to access
my mail via pop3-ssl or imap-ssl in a ssl client,
the client returns an
error code: 0x800ccc0e. This seems to be true with
several different mail
clients. The main one i am using is Outlook
(because my clients will need
it).
The usual explanation for a completely uninformative
error diagnostic from
Microsoft software when SSL is involved is either:
A) Wrong protocol version (SSL2/SSL3/TLS1), or
B) The client does not like unsigned or self-signed
certificates.
The protocol version can be adjusted in imapd-ssl
configuration file. The
client's configuration must be adjusted to indicate
that your server
certificate is trusted. Someone once said that you
do that by actually
firing up Internet Explorer, and telling it to open
the certificate file.
The resulting dialog should have an option to import
and mark the
certificate as trusted.
