You can add the certificate of the local CA you used to sign the SSL cert to your mail client's list of trusted CAs. You can also pay a "real CA" like Verisign, enTrust, etc for a commercial SSL cert which will be accepted by default, as mail clients already know those CAs. > Problem 2 > Kmail allows me accept the bad certificate and logs in succesfully.

There may be an option named "IMAP path prefix" which will let you change this, or you can recompile the UWash IMAP server after changing the default path where mail is kept. You'll probably need to go to /usr/ports/mail/cclient, do a "make extract", and then cd to work/imap-2002d.
