 1. Concatenate your private key and the certificate issued into a PEM file:

<example>

cat mail_linuxia_de.key mail_linuxia_de.crt > /etc/courier/imapd.pem

</example>

 1. Copy the bundle file with the intermediate certifcates into the configuration directory for Courier:

<example>

cp mail_linuxia_de.ca-bundle /etc/courier

</example>

 1. Add the location of these files to the IMAP SSL configuration file, e.g. <code>/etc/courier/imapd-ssl</code>:

<example>

TLS_CERTFILE=/etc/courier/imapd.pem

TLS_TRUSTCERTS=/etc/courier/mail_linuxia_de.ca-bundle

</example>
