Re: [Evolution] Evolution stopped retrieving mail via ssl

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

just because other clients connect without warning you does not mean
that they are doing the right thing :-)

if evolution says the certificate is bad, then it means that the mozilla
nss ssl library says it is bad. this suggests to me that mozilla would
give the same error.

are you by any chance connecting to multiple ssl servers? check that
they don't have the same ssl certificate. we reported this problem to
the moz devs a good 6 months to a year ago and were told that it is
invalid for 2+ servers to share the same ssl cert and thus they felt
that this was not a bug.
