Office 2007 doesn't like wildcard SSL principal name for IMAP serv

Hi, I've installed Outlook 2007 on Windows XP SP2 and each time I start it,
it complains

Internet Security Warning
The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that
cannot be verified.
The target principal name is incorrect.

The account that is causing troubles is an IMAP account over SSL. The server
has a valid wildcard certificate for mailbox*.<domain goes here> and the
server that I'm connecting to is mailbox180.<domain goes here>. The
certificate doesn't show any errors and everything works fine after I accept
the dialog. I don't have any problems with this same server and settings
under Outlook Express 6.0, Mozilla Thunderbird or Outlook 2003.

Any suggestions on how I can avoid the message showing every time?
