753465 - Thunderbird doesn't add account configuration due to unsigned certificate

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 752522

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[autonomy]

User Agent: Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; U; de) Presto/2.10.229 Version/11.62

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to add a new mailaccount.


Actual results:

Thunderbird opend all dialogs correctly but after I added the correct information like mailserver-address Thunderbird claimed my login or password to be incorrect which they weren't. After I clicked the button that opens the more detailed accountoverview and clicked ok I saw that my account was created correctly but that there was an issue with the unsigend TSL certificate on the server and I had to add an exception. After this it worked just fine.


Expected results:

The problem just is that Thunderbird doesn't show the certificate problem dialog during account creation and then claims my data to be incorrect eventhough it just can'T connect to the server because of some unsigned certificate.
