Description Marcel Juhnke 2006-09-03 13:56:07 UTC 
Connecting to an IMAP-Server with an expired SSL-Certificate shows up a dialog saying: "Failed to connect to IMAP server lorifan.homeip.net in secure mode: SSL negotiations failed"

No connection can be established to the server then.

From the Ubuntu bug:

"Also, evolution used to be able to connect to this imap server with TLS,
and thunderbird still is."

This is currently (32.12.x, 3.16.x and git master (3.17.x)) driven by GIO and its glib-networking stuff. That means that the shown error message will be the same across all applications using GIO streams.
