Howdy,

When you access email, are you accessing it via the same name that's listed in your SSL cert?

If it's not the same name as listed in your cert, it would generate a warning message.

Well, it's difficult to say, and many of the usual SSL testers don't work on IMAP... but you may want to double-check the CA Certificate (or sometimes called the intermediate certificate).

The usual way to get all this working is to create a Virtual Server, place the SSL Certificate you wish to use within it, then in Server Configuration -> Manage SSL Certificates, click the "Copy to Dovecot" button. If the intermediate certificate is setup, it'll be copied to Dovecot.

i see that you have a PositiveSSL CA 2 Certificate from COMODO. This certificate does not cover "sub-domains" ( mail.shieldomega.com ).

that certificate is only valid for "shieldomega.com". i had the same problem till i looked at the PositiveSSL Product Information 'more' carefully ;-) and like me you probably need to get a Wildcard SSL Certificate that covers Sub-Domains as well.

hope this helps.
