dovecot - Apr 2007 - Client with SSL client cert support?

Good day, all,

I've gleaned that dovecot has support for verifying SSL client certs on 
connect. What IMAP clients have people found that support sending a 
specific SSL cert? I can't find this feature in Thunderbird, at least.

Thanks,

Peter

Thunderbird will send a client certificate if there is one in its 
certificate manager (probably with an email address matching the account 
address) and the server asks for it. There seems to be no way to 
configure this though.

(sorry, I accidentally sent it directly to Peter)

You can set "security.default_peronal_cert" to "Ask Every
Time" in
Thunderbird, but it's not very nice.

If you use a recent Dovecot, it will send out a list of accepted CA
names, so the client will select the proper one automatically.
