Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have been more complete in my
description. That is where I first started. Not only did that give me the
error above but an additional error telling me I was missing the root CA for
the signing authority. Searches on that error pointed me to the chained SSL
Thanks. I think I turned on all the debug I can but the result is not at all

I was not able to find specific help for configuring the crt file for CaCert.
I gleaned from examples the following order:
server certificate
CaCert class 3 certificate
Cacert root certificate
However, when I try to configure my mail reading for IMAP, Dovecot shows the
