Could they make this easier to find?
README.SuSE for imap ====================
Even when this package is installed the servers are not activated automatically. If you are sure you want to have this IMAP or POP server running, please refer to the documentation in this directory on how to set up /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/imap so they are used.
For TLS/SSL encrypted connections (you most likely want these as plain password authentication is only allowed for those) you have to install a certificate imapd.pem and/or ipop3d in /etc/ssl/certs. If you don't have a certificate you can generate a self-signed certificate with the following commands:
cd /etc/ssl/certs openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapd.pem -keyout imapd.pem openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out ipop3d.pem -keyout ipop3d.pem
As the Common Name you must either enter the DNS name or IP address of your mail server. Note that a certificate is only valid for a limited time.
Have a lot of fun...
