How to post to a server using a self-sign certificate

    My server has a temporary self-signed certificate for its mailserver and I would like to make sure Postie will work but I am getting an error when testing…

    Connecting to abc.net:993 (imap-ssl) with TLS
imap: connection string - {abc.net:993/service=imap/ssl/tls/novalidate-cert}
imap: disabling GSSAPI
imap_open failed: Can't open mailbox {abc.net:993/service=imap/ssl/tls/novalidate-cert}: invalid remote specification
Mail Connection Time Out
Common Reasons: Server Down, Network Issue, Port/Protocol MisMatch

    Is there some way I can get past the above error?

    The server only offers IMAP port 993/SSL with no POP or non-SSL/TLS options.

    My fault, I had the TLS option also selected whereas it should have been just port 993/SSL for IMAP-SSL but with TLS set to No. It’s working now regardless of the self-signed certificate.
