A workaround to enter the self signed security certifcate onto your client, is to open a browser, in this case as the email client Outlook is a Microsoft product, then open Microsoft Internet Explorer (or equivalent MS browser) & go to https://www.yourmaindomainname.com & accept the certificate for the first time. The certificate is entered into the trusted store & during further use you will not be challenged for an untrusted certificate. There are a lot of changes currently happening with Microsoft operating systems etc, & browsers are changing, so this workaround may no longer apply on newer systems.
