SSL over IMAP in Exchange

I am trying to allow IMAP connections over a secure SSL connection only. When I attempt to test this using Netscape the logs return the error that the IMAP cannot find a vaild SSL certificate. But when I go into Key Manager my key is setup and listed as vaild and ready to use. If I allow IMAP connections through clear text Netscape connects with no problem.

Is there something I'm missing in the installation of this certificate, thought it says that it is ready to use and operational in the key manager? Or does anyone have a link or documentation on setting up SSL over IMAP?

Any help is greatly appricated,

To answer my own question:

The solution for me was to copy an existing IMAP certificate we had on another exchange server to the IMAP on the new server.

Apparently all the settings mentioned above were correct. So if you're doing this from scratch and run into the same problem try creating a new certificate key.
