I think the problem is i did not entered any data when creating my 
certificate  I just entered a dot ....as recommended I entered the page in 
order t read the suplementary info:

http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/05/imap_ssl.html

However i am not sure of the fields that must be filled...could anyone help 
me with this??

Country Name (two-letter code): ??
State or Province Name (full name): ??
Locality Name (e.g., city): ??
Organization Name (e.g., company):??
Organizational Unit Name (e.g., department):??
Common Name (your host name):??
E-mail address:??

I am really not sure what to write at any field?? and it seems the most 
important is the Common Name (Host name) i am really not sure of this 
one...all this is becoming really confusing!!

My country is : Venezuela but only two Letter Code is required (..??..)
State or Porvince: Anzoategui
Locality: Puerto la Cruz
Organization Name: Telesoft
Organizational Unit Name: Engineering Department
Common Name: NO IDEA ABOUT WHAT TO TYPE IN THIS FIELD
E-mail address: juanflores@xxxxxxxxxx

I have already postfix installed on my laptop and it receives mails i send 
locally on my pc from PHP with mail() command, however it is not possible to 
read the received mails with evolution (which is the client i have 
installed).

I have only a pair of e-mail address on postfix which is 
juanflores@xxxxxxxxxx and root@xxxxxxxxxx and I can´t read any of the mails 
received…

- do I have to type my IP address in the field “Common Name”??
- how do I get mi machine´s IP address??
- or can it works if I use “Common Name: Linux.site”??
- can I recreate the certificate again (in order to fill the fields 
accurately) by re-using the command cd /etc/ssl/certs  openssl req -new 
-nodes -out -imapd.pem -keyout imapd.pem as explained at README.SuSE file???

Thanks in advance for helping me to figure out this confusing issue..
Regards
Juan.-
