i use the same certificate but I added all three names, ie.

CN=pop.xxx.com
CN=smtp.xxx.com
CN=www.xxx.com

That way, pop3, smtp and https can use the same certificate and the clients
won't complain of a name mismatch.

BTW, slightly off topic, if you're trying to do pop3 over TLS with MS
outlook you may run into a problem with it not being able to negotiate a TLS
connection in-band on port 995 ("alternate-port" terminology in qpopper). I
had to add another port (i just used 996) that was configured as a
non-inband negotiated TLS ("stls" terminology in qpopper) and pointed my MS
outlook people at it (with SSL enabled).

That is, if that is what you're trying to do...
