Problem with TLS and Outlook 2010

Dovecot 2.0.9

 

So I am trying to get my Outlook 2010 client to use TLS with Dovecot.

The Outlook error that I get is: 

 

Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP): A secure connection to the server
cannot be established.

I have set the port to 143,993,995 none of them work, and the security to
TLS.

 

I have all of the certificates in the full chain installed on my machine and
when viewing them they all show ?This certificate is OK.?

 

I have turned on Outlook logging and am seeing this:

It looks like they are connecting to different servers.
DNS or proxy problem?
Did you check the server logs?

993 is IMAP-over-SSL, which is probably not named "TLS", but
"SSL" in
Outlook.
Usually "TLS" means to use STARTTLS.
See: http://www.cs.umd.edu/faq/mailclient/outlook.html
But there are a lot of different Outlook versions and different names for 
settings.

Do you have a local Firewall or a Cisco-Router between this client and the 
server? Some firewalls filter out STARTTLS in order to scan the 
transferred content.

openssl does not guess certificates, you need to specify them on command 
line.

does this client run in the same network as the windows client?

My preference is STARTTLS, which I assumed I would get by selecting port 143
and TLS.

I am not sure I understand this. Dovecot has the certificate chain, which it
should send to the client if I understand correctly. 
There may be an issue with the format of the certificate chain file, but if
there is I don?t know how to fix it.

Yes, same local subnet, in fact the Linux client is a virtual machine
