IMAP help

I need to setup IMAP so it's somewhat secure. That is, I either need to use SSL or any authentication system that isn't plain text.

I have UW-IMAP 2001 working with SSL but Outlook Express is popping up an annoying message about my certficate does not match the host's internet address. How can I use OpenSSL to sign a certificate with the correct IP address? I can't find any reference to how that's configured. I'm guessing it's either not including an address in the certficate or it's picking up the machine's eth0 address (an internal network address).

An alternative is to get Outlook Express to do CRAM-MD5 authentication, which I have working server-side. However, OE doesn't support that it seems. It does support GSS authentication, which I now understand is part of Kerberos V. If I try to build support for that into UW imapd, I get errors about missing header files. I guess I need Kerberos header files and libraries... where might I find those? Is this painless?
