[solved?] Dovecot with StartSSL certificates not recognized in Tbird

alrighty, this is pretty peculiar. I've configured Dovecot on my server to use a certificate from StartSSL (they're free!). When I was using a self signed certificate, Thunderbird would connect via IMAP just fine, but the first time it would complain that it was an untrusted cert.

Now, however, if I launch thunderbird, it just says that the server does not support the selected authentication method. That's silly, because it absolutely does! I've confirmed that everything else works with this certificate (android phone, roundcube installation, etc). and i've also confirmed that going back to the self signed certificate authenticates just fine in thunderbird... has anybody got any clever ideas?
