[imp] Can't authenticate against my IMAP Server

[Philip MacIver]

I do have access to the whole system, as I am running tests on a local
machine before I deploy it on the actual server. I just don't know
where horde/imp logs its messages to. 

But I went ahead a ran the tests as you suggested and this was what I
got.

Now am trying to connect to my IMAP server using imap/ssl, but as you
see below it gives me a certificate failure, which I don't actually
know what it means. 

Can you shed any light on that error message?

Thanks
