Description Hans Petter Jansson 2001-09-28 07:16:57 UTC 
Situation: Am using an IMAP/SSL server which doesn't have a certificate
           from a recognized authority.

Problem:   Evolution constantly warns me about the situation and requires
           me to hit "Ok".

Wish made: It would be nice if Evolution gave the user the option of
           accepting the certificate until its expiration, even if it's
           just self-signed. Mozilla does this.

I forgot to mention how exceptionally painful this is if you have
mailcheck set to every 5 minutes :)
