Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5pre) Gecko/20091025 Shredder/3.0pre My mail server uses SSL/IMAP for client connections. Starting tonight, I started getting prompted to trust my mail server's certificate. The dialog in question is the one that reads: You are about to override how Shredder identifies this site. Legitimate banks, stores... I'll attach a screenshot. So far as I can tell, the mail server certificate is fine, and it chains to the corporate root. I had previously marked this root as trusted and have not had any issues until tonight. I manually trusted the cert (but did not allow it to "Permanently store this exception"), and was able to connect to the server and get my mail. So that part of the connection still works. It is quite possible that there is a server configuration error, but it feels more like a client regression. Does anyone else use SSL/IMAP on a regular basis?

My only thought is something in bug 522633 affected this.
Yes, I see this as well (with Fedora TB), but I am afraid there is something phoney about changes of certificates on the server.
(In reply to comment #2) > My only thought is something in bug 522633 affected this. That bug was about SMTP, whereas attachment 408314 [details] affects IMAP. Unless your server offers GSSAPI (only), you shouldn't see any change.
I think this turned out to be a server config issue. Feel free to close.
k, thx
