    Description

      I am having problems with reading IMAP messages from MS Outlook (i.e. 2010), while T-Bird and other clients works as expected. This problem is occurring just when i add self-signed cert. When I am using unsecured communication, everything works fine, but I need SSL/TLS on MS Outlook 2003/2007/2010

      On the server side I have Linux Debian, and minimum of two additional machines (DNS and Win7 with MS Outlook) in the local network, so I can only have self-signed certificate (no public domain). SMTP is not secured and present on 2525 port just for compatibility, root processor is empty as I do not need sending messages.

      However, Outlook accepts certificate and tests connection without complaining I even got folder structure and mail list, but when I try to read any mail Outlook does something and puff - connection goes to hell . One version of Outlook even crash. James shows this trace in imapserver.log:

      config:
      imapserver.xml: set for socketTLS on port 993,
      james-database.property: set for MySQL db,
      james.keystore: RSA 2048 key
      mailbox.xml: set for maildir
      mailetcontainer.xml: everything under root processor commented out
      pop3server.xml: turned off (everything deleted under pop3server tag except jmxName)
      smtpserver.xml: default on 2525 port

      I am generating mails myself and putting them into maildirs, that part is working properly as if other clients have no complaints, only Outlook doesn't work properly with this. As if MS Outlook is the most common choice of my clients I must find solution for this problem or change James to something other. (Binc works fine with Outlook)
