While choosing what accepted to use inside your mail customer, you have a decision between utilizing either: mail.yourdomain.com or imap/smtp.yourdomain.com

In the event that you use mail.yourdomain it is likely you'll get a "mail certificate name mismatch"/"cannot verify server identity" error, this is clarified in the guide here.
