True.  On the other hand, for what I want to do, geek value is at least 
half the fun.  Maybe more. :)

Thanks, but I realized after I looked in imapd.conf that the real 
problem was that tls_cipher_list did not include any RSA ciphers, and 
that's what the CA.pl in Debian creates.  So I added 'aRSA', and now I 
am happily connecting via SSL.  Plus, I now have a CA of my own I can 
play with for things like apache-ssl and the like.
