I think you missed the point Dep is making.
The *actual* problem is that when KMail comes across a broken certificate,
and you tell it "Remember this one is okay forever", it *does not* remember
that it is okay forever.
Telling KMail "never check the certificates" does not solve the
problem, since that stops KMail from complaining *at all*. It completely
breaks when you have a situation like this:
- Site X certificate is broken, and I trust it forever;
- Site Y certificate is broken, but I only trust it this one time;
- I don't trust site Z at all unless the certificate is valid.
No, as I stated
in my first post, I realize that this is not the proper way
to fix the issue, but since I've never seen a fix in all the years of using
kMail3, I took it upon myself to at least reduce the aggravation, with an
admittedly lousy solution.
