Setup of Dovecot went smoothly. Now when I try to retrieve mail from the server, I get the following message: Security Error: Domain name mismatch You have attempted to establish a connection to "mail.tib.com" However, the security certificate presented belongs to "imap.tib.com"..... How to fix this message? Thanks in advance. Kirt
Hi Kirt, Easy! Either connect to imap.tib.com instead of mail.tib.com, or create and install a new security certificate on the server which is for mail.tib.com instead. It's as simple as the message says - you've said your mail server is called "mail.tib.com" but your installed security certificate is for "imap.tib.com."

I previously posted this message and made a type mistake. I wrote "imap.tib.com instead it should red "imap.example.com". I have corrected the message and am reposting it.
