Thanks all for the help. Today I installed courier-imap, and reconfigured 
Exim for Maildir delivery, and I can now get mail out over POP3 + SSL. 
Apple's OS X mail client and Mac Eudora 6b are working fine. (I had sort of 
been wanting to try maildirs, and this way I can evolve to IMAP if I want, 
so I will probably stick with this.)

Eudora for Windows is still hosed though. I did manually add my cert to the 
trusted list but I still have this error to deal with:

SSL Negotiation Failed: Certificate bad: Destination Host name does not 
match host name in certificate  Cause (-6984)

Now, I am using a self-signed cert that I created with courier's shortcut 
command, and this test system does not have a real hostname yet, which 
seems like it would explain this error... but does anyone know a way to 
tell Eudora to not care about bad certificates? Or better still, how do I 
create a cert myself that satisfies Eudora? Will it even be possible to 
when my mail server  testbed is at 192.168.x.y, without a fully-qualified 
hostname?

Getting real close now though, thanks to everyone!
