When I try the first command with hosting24.hostway.net as address I get a bunch of text with:

Code:
Server certificate
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
....
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

No client certificate CA names sent
---
SSL handshake has read 4779 bytes and written 318 bytes
---
New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
Server public key is 2048 bit
Secure Renegotiation IS supported
Compression: NONE
Expansion: NONE
SSL-Session:
    Protocol  : TLSv1
    Cipher    : DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
    Session-ID: ..........

Start Time: 1414650437
    Timeout   : 7200 (sec)
    Verify return code: 19 (self signed certificate in certificate chain)

. OK Pre-login capabilities listed, post-login capabilities have more.
The second command with hosting24.hostway.net gives me:

Code:
Server certificate
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
....
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

No client certificate CA names sent
---
SSL handshake has read 5304 bytes and written 455 bytes
---
New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA

    Timeout   : 7200 (sec)

And if I try the commands with mydomain.net as address I get the same responses as before, knowing that for mydomain.net I don't have any certificates installed.

Is it possible that my provider made a link between my domain and the domain of the server so the certificate would be on both domains?

I also tried the commands with the specified ports for the SSL/TLS configuration and in all cases I get the same text between BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE. No matter what the domain is (mydomain.net or hosting24.hostway.net) if I use the appropriate ports and appropriate protocol (-ssl3 or -tls1) for each domain I get the same certificate.

From what I understand of all this, my connection is secured the same way if I use:

- "SSL" with the address hosting24.hostway.net with ports 993 for imap and 465 for smtp (the old way that doesn't work anymore)

or

- "Normale (TLS)" with mydomain.net or hosting24.hostway.net with ports 143 for imap and 587 for smtp (the new way that works).

Is it correct?
