Courier-Imap ssl problem..! please help!!!

Hello there...

For some days now I cannot configure to use ssl via the imaps ports and I'm in really need of it...

First of all I made my own certificate using mkimapdcert

I've used various combinations in the /etc/courier-imap/imapd-ssl providing the sslv3 in various ports - with or without tls, using the certificate that I generated before...

The only way which worked was to enable tls1 in the 143 port but this way the Imp cannot work because it requires php 5 for tls connections... :(

The problem with all other configurations is:

when i try to test the ssl connection with:

openssl s_client -ssl3 -connect localhost:993 -state

I get:

CONNECTED(00000003)
SSL_connect:before/connect initialization
SSL_connect:SSLv3 write client hello A
SSL3 alert read:fatal:handshake failure
SSL_connect:failed in SSLv3 read server hello A
16031:error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure:s3_pkt.c:1052:SSL alert number 40
16031:error:1409E0E5:SSL routines:SSL3_WRITE_BYTES:ssl handshake failure:s3_pkt.c:529:

and in the /var/log/mail.info i get:

imapd-ssl: couriertls: connect error:1408A10B SSL routines SSL3 GET_$3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO wrong version number

I asked Plesk support about this but they told me that because i've bought plesk via a reseller they do not provide the 30 days of free support that they advertise so they want to extra charge me if i want them to help me...

what can I say???

I will really much appreciate anyones help..
