Description C de-Avillez 2008-07-10 21:04:34 UTC 
Original Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/232340

cacert.org (http://cecert.org) root certificates should be included in the Evolution Certificate Authorities list.
Comment 1 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2008-07-22 20:53:12 UTC 
I agree, and unlike with epiphany, this is actually possible to fix.
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-08-31 10:55:58 UTC 
Evolution gets its certificate authorities from NSS, same as Firefox and Epiphany.  Not sure we can fix it.
Comment 3 Tobias Mueller 2009-02-08 21:56:27 UTC 
Don't we have any chance to distribute root certificates ourselves?
If we depend solely on NSS then we're doomed here for sure and this bug is to close as NOTGNOME.

Comment 4 David Ayers 2011-09-01 07:08:34 UTC 
I don't get it... if evolution gets its certificates from NSS, shouldn't importing the CAcert into iceweasel/firefox also make it available for evolution?

Currently I still need to import the Certificate into iceweasel/firefox, export it to a file and then import it into evolution.

This is highly problematic for less technical users especially since the export files do not add file suffixes and evolution expects them.

I think it's great if there were some standard system Administration tool on the OS with which one can manage certs but I haven't found it on GNU/Linux distributions and it seems that evolution and iceweasel are not using a common repository.  (I've just tested this on Natty: Evolution 2.32.2 & Firefox 6.0.1)

This had been addressed in bug #585301 and in bug #585301, thus in time of 2.32. I'm closing this as such.
