Lion mail cannot connect to IMAP server with certificate
I have a clean install of Lion (was installed on an external empty drive then installed in my macbookpro).
I have setup 2 IMAP accounts successfully : one for Gmail and one for my personal mail server.
I am now trying to setup another IMAP account for one of the DoD mail server which utilizes Certificates. That setup also need SSL(port 993) + some certificates. Unfortunately I cannot seem to connect and get a username/password rejection when creating the account or trying to bring online (after the creation). My username/password is correct (I have checked via other means). I know this mail server requires certain certificates to be installed. I have loaded the SystemCACetificates keychain as well (not loaded by default) that can be found in /System/Library/KeyChains/SystemCACertificates.keychain.
Not much success either.
The strange thing is that teh network guys do not even see me connecting to the mail server and being rejected.
Has anybody similar problem. I would appreciate any help on that matter.
Thanks
