Since version 2.0.0.23, thunderbird shows on each connect a box with

Title: Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch

Text: Youi have attempted to establish a connection with "imap.bieringer.hosting.aerasec.de". However, the security certificate presented belongs to ""...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect via POP or IMAP to imap.bieringer.hosting.aerasec.de
2. Message box appears

Actual Results:  
Upper warning box

Expected Results:  
Neither warning box nor am empty "" on "presented belongs to.

It worked up to 2.0.0.22 and is also still working on 3.0b3 (Fedora 11) without any warning box.

Note also that the certificate is a wildcard certificate belonging to *.aerasec.de, so I see no issue here why a warning box should be displayed.
Version: unspecified → 2.0
