303166 - Certificates for domain names hosted by another site

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

[tom hendrey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Thunderbird Version 1.0.5 (20050711)

Our web site is hosted by another provider.  Every time I send an email, I get a
message that the security certificate does not match our domain name.  I believe
this is because our domain is hosted by another company.  This other company's
certificate is shown whenever I send out an email.  Is there a way to
permanently associate the host site's certificate as being OK for our domain
name so that each time I do not have to say it is OK that the certificate does
not match our domain name?

Thanks from a new user of Thunderbird.  I like your program a lot better than
Outlook I was using.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compose and send any email using our domain:  whitleyburchett.com
2.  Get a thunderbird message than the security certificate is from
lunarpages.com (our web host)
3. Have to click that this is OK each time.  Then email sends just fine.  Would
like to avoid having to say OK to the security certificate not matching my
domain everytime I send an email.

Actual Results:  
n/a

Expected Results:  
Allow me to permanently accept and save on my computer that this one particular
certificate as valid for the specific action of sending out any email from my
domain.  Allow me to change the valid certificate relationship to our domain
name if we decide to use another company to host our web site.

This certificate handling is all different for tb3, and you should be able to remember the certificate exception there.
