[NTLUG:Discuss] Secure POP

[Neil Aggarwal]

Richard (and for everyone else's benefit):

Getting Outlook to accept your cert is easy.

Load Internet Explorer, and point it to 
https://[servername]:995 
You should get a pop-up that says the certificate could not
be verified.  
Click on the View Certificate button.
Click on the Install Certificate button.  
This should bring up a Certificate Import Wizard.
On the intro screen of the wizard, hit the Next button.
For the certificate store, leave the selection to 
automatically pick the certificate store and hit Next.
On the last screen of the wizard, hit the Finish button.

You will then get a dialog that asks you to confirm that you
want to add the certificate to the Root Store.  
Hit the Yes button.  
You should get a pop-up that states the import was successful. 
Hit OK on that dialog.
This will take you back to the certificate dialog.  
Hit OK to exit it.
This will take you back to the dialog that originally
told you the certificate could not be verified.  
Hit Yes to close it.

After this, Internet Explorer will just sit trying to
load a page.  It will eventually time-out.  This is OK,
you can safely close Internet Explorer at any time. 

Now, Outlook will not complain about your cert.

Let me know if you need any help with this,
	Neil.
