292815 - No way to permanently dismiss Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch dialog

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 228684

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[dolphinling]

"You have attempted to establish a connection with "mail.dolphinling.net".
However, the security certificate presented belongs to "mail.dreamhost.com". It
is possible, though unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your
communication with this web site."

This dialog appears every time I open thunderbird (set to check mail
automatically on startup). There should be some way to permanently accept the
mail.dreamhost.com certificate as valid for this account, but warn on other
certificates.

In the absence of that, it would be a nicer (though more insecure) experience
than what we have currently to be able to disable the prompt entirely for that
account.


(if the person fixing this needs an account to test it on, I can give them one)

Did you ever consider asking the admin to put a correct cert on their server?
