Sorry for the delay -- I had my wedding and a brief
mini-honeymoon to attend to ;)

I realize this is a little "all over the road" here,
but bear with me as I am just trying to get something
working at this point for our users who are now
without secure IMAP :(

With "TLS" selected in Thunderbird, I am given no
choice but to select a client certificate.  See
attached images.

Another user reports that GNU Emacs with the Gnus
client works with SSL and port 993.  I've confirmed
this in the log:

Jan 21 11:11:03 imapsrv imaps[14170]: [ID 277583 local6.notice] login: 
jimbo-host.our.com [xx.xx.50.67] jimbo plaintext+TLS User logged in

If I configure Thunderbird to do that (SSL via 993),
I get the following:

Jan 21 11:10:19 imapsrv imaps[14104]: [ID 636471 local6.notice] TLS 
server engine: cannot load CA data
Jan 21 11:10:19 imapsrv imaps[14104]: [ID 286863 local6.notice]

Jan 21 11:10:19 imapsrv imaps[14104]: [ID 798856 local6.notice] imaps
