How do I get IMAPS working?

[mparadis]

I've read all that I can find and it's all a mish mash of thoughts but nothing which seems to say the same thing so I'm not sure which input to follow.

I purchased an SSL cert today based on information which stated that it is needed in order for IMAPS to be activated but that's about it. I can't find anything else which clearly explains what I do from this point on.

Can someone shed some light please.

Thanks very much.
