+If this does not work and you are getting error messages, you can test the certificate using a command like (credits to Daniel Shahaf for this)::
+
+    % openssl s_client -CAfile $sslcacertfile -connect ${hostname}:imaps 2>&1 </dev/null
+    verify return:1

+(If you post the output, post the full output, without 'grep' filtering)
+
+    verify return:1
+        Verify return code: 0 (ok)

+If the server uses STARTTLS, pass the -starttls option and the 'imap' port.

+Also, you can test::
+  gnutls-cli --x509cafile certs/mail.mydomain.eu.cert -p 993 mail.mydomain.eu
