please help with configuring courier imap

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi all.

I've got courier imap 1.4.6, the stand-alone version.

I would like to provide imap over ssl, and have logins authenticated via the authpwd module.

I've read the docs backwords and forwords, but still can't get it to work successfully. I have edited imapd, imapd.cnf, and imapd-ssl in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc to provide what I think are the correct values.

I run imapd-ssl.rc start, and it starts just fine.
When I run fetchmail in vurbose mode, I get the following.

fetchmail: 5.9.11 querying linserver.romuald.net.eu.org (protocol auto) at Sat Aug  3 22:37:44 2002: poll started
fetchmail: 5.9.11 querying linserver.romuald.net.eu.org (protocol IMAP) at Sat Aug  3 22:37:44 2002: poll started
fetchmail: running ssh romualt@%h /usr/sbin/imapd (host linserver.romuald.net.eu.org service 143)
romualt at linserver.romuald.net.eu.org's password:

fetchmail: normal termination, status 1

Everything looks fine, right? No, it doesn't since there actually is mail waiting for romualt (I'm positive of that).

When I do the same with outlook distress,
1. I select the account. 
2. It tells me that it doesn't have the folders for that account, and do I want to download them.
3. I say yes, and give it my password.
4. It tells me that my ssl certificate is not in the official root certificates database, and asks me if I still want to connect. I answer yes.
5. It gives me an ok dialogue saying that the server unexpectedly terminated the connection.

I get the following in the server's /var/log/messages file.

Aug  3 22:35:29 linserver sshd[848]: Accepted password for romualt from 192.168.0.2 port 1028 ssh2
Aug  3 22:35:29 linserver imapd[849]: Preauthenticated user=romualt host=[34.163.4.8]
Aug  3 22:35:29 linserver imapd[849]: Logout user=romualt host=[34.163.4.8]

I'm obviously close, but not home. 

Can someone who is using courier imap successfully please advise?
If you need to see any of my config files, output from the authinfo program, or anything else, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any help.
