Outlook and Dovecot self signed certificates.
Another issue I had was that I use a self signed certificate on my Dovecot server. Every time I started Outlook, it’d come up with a warning about the certificate note being verified (sorry, can’t remember the exact error).
Suffice to say, all I had to do, was accept that I wasn’t using a valid certificate and Outlook would use it and connect to my Dovecot server.
Still annoying though, so I had to fix it.
- The way I did this, was to download the public certificate from my linux box to my windows desktop
- I then renamed it to “dovecot.cer”
- I then right clicked and asked to install the certificate into the certificate store.
Problem sorted and gone away…

On my box, it's in :
/etc/pki/dovecot
In any case, just run a quick find on files terminating with the extension .pem

Thanks a lot.
I found the pem file.
I also have to build a new one to match the CN name certificate with my mailserver adress and voila no more warnings.
An easy way to find the pem file location is to look the dovecot config file, usually
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
or
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/01-dovecot-postfix.conf
