Look, at their testing sample page there is a connection to IMAP 143 stantard port (no imaps/993): http://wiki2.dovecot.org/TestInstallation Also: Plaintext Authentication http://wiki2.dovecot.org/BasicConfiguration > 2) There is a certificate used for secure communication w/ the server, > but I did not generate it myself.

You can use them (your clients will receive a security alert about SSL certificate being invalid/not trusted which is the normal behaviour) or you can replace them with real ones (Verisign, Thatwe, etc...) validated certificates coming from a CA. _Both_ will secure your data, but with the "auto-signed-own-generated" ones, you'll get a "cosmetic" error.
