Description Rob Walker 2011-05-07 15:10:36 UTC
Version:           1.99.0 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Since upgrading to ubuntu 11.04, kmail always shows the following message when I check my IMAP server (dovecot):

The server failed the authenticity check (makalu).

The certificate does not apply to the given host
The certificate is not signed by any trusted certificate authority

I click continue and it then asks whether I want to do this forever or for current sesssions only.  I click forever, but next time I start kmail it pops up the warning again.  This did not happen with the previous ubuntu release.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create an IMAP server using a self-signed SSL certificate
Create an account in kmail to access this server, selecting the SSL encryption option
Start kmail

Actual Results:  
 the server authenticity check dialog will always be shown

Expected Results:  
 the server authenticity check dialog should not be shown once you've said you want to accept that certificate for ever.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.38-8-generic
