I'm using Dovecot 2.2.5. I'm setting up and new IMAPS server for personal use (i.e. only me).

I have success with self-signed certificates but not with others (e.g. StartSSL.com)

/usr/local/etc/ssl/imaps.unixathome.org.crt contains only the cert issued by StartSSL


Maybe you are missing some of the certificate chain.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration
"Chained SSL certificates"

I tried that yesterday and it seemed to make no difference.
My attempts were based on
http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/check-certificate-chain-in-a-pem-file-td43871.html

Perhaps I am doing the chain incorrectly.  I just tried again.  The
server is now set up with the following:

I have three certs in this chain file:

cat imaps.unixathome.org.pem sub.class1.server.ca.pem ca.pem > testing.chain.pem

1 - the certificate issued by startssl for my server
2 & 3 - the PEM files for StartSSL as found at http://www.startssl.com/certs/

The following test seems to indicate I have SSL configured correctly:

http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=imaps.unixathome.org:993

A similar test from http://www.digicert.com/help/ does not find an issue.

Even better, this test shows the certs it finds: http://certlogik.com/ssl-checker/

Not sure what to conclude yet.
