260037 - accept smtp tls certificates permanently

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 255025

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Franz G. Koehler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040623 Camino/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040623 Camino/0.8

Thunderbird always incicates that the smtp-sever's tls certificate is

- not signed by a trusted authority
- does not match the server's name as used in the preferences.


I do, nevertheless, want to trust that certificate.

Unforunately, there is no possibility to accept the certificate permanently,
thunderbird (and mozilla mail, too, by the way) does everytime ask about the
certificate.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up a tls capable server as smtp out
2. use a self-signed server certificate
3. send mail

Actual Results:  
thunderbird prompts every time

Expected Results:  
Point out the certificate's particularities to the user and offer the
possibility to accept the certificate permanently.

See my comment #17 to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221552 and
the attachment.  Apologies if it should be here, not there.  

I suspect that bug 260037, 247476, 267923 are all related...  should have
searched differently the first time!

Attachment: here's the problem

Ah.  I've just been told by by Frank Wien that I should have reported it as
255025 - so that's four that are for the same thing, then.
