It's not possible to run mail_room over SSL, even if the host is localhost

According to the error, your server certificate is not matching.

[sixtyfive]

Because it's been made out for the public-facing domain of the server. One of the many reasons why it really needs to be possible to say "I know what I'm doing (or don't and don't care) and really want you to ignore any SSL certificate problems".

Thank you for the prompt answer btw!

Do you want SSL? You can turn it off for the IMAP server.

[tpitale]

Do you basically want to use verify none?

[sixtyfive]

Sorry if I came over aggressive in any way, that wasn't intended. In this case I don't really want SSL, but Dovecot is configured to only accept connections through SSL, even when they're from localhost. So basically, yes, I'd like to use verify none.

Word, I'll add a setting.

[sixtyfive]

Awesome, thank you! :-)

@sixtyfive I added a PR, can you please test it?
