Description Bugzilla Maintainers 2002-09-08 10:53:45 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.4.6 (using KDE 3.0.7 1 beta1))
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-gentoo-r7
OS/Compiler notes: 

When downloading mail using SSL and the mailserver name is different from the servername the certificate is issued to it's said to be possible to accept this forever and to get rid of the message.

However when hitting the "Forever" button after some time the message that mailserver name and issued server name differ appears again.

This bug will require a bit of investigation.  I will try to get at it asap
though.  Really... you should configure your certificate correctly.  however at
least it shook out a possible bug in the code. :)

I would, but this is my ISP's server and they had the certificate issued on 
their domain name, not on mine.

At least they provide encrypted mail transfer :-)

bug cannot be reproduced on kmail 1.4.7 (kde 3.1 beta2), seems to be fixed

PLEASE CLOSE BUG

thanks for that fix. makes my mail a little more secure and less annoying.

that quick fix is another reason for kde being my desktop of choice

Comment 6 peppelorum 2006-11-08 06:57:17 UTC
This bug should be reopened I think, since I get this error all the time
I'm using:
KDE 3.5.5 (debian unstable)
Kmail 1.9.5
In Kmail I use:
"Use TLS for secure mail download" as encryption
and
"Clear text" as auth method

Is there anything else you need from me to reopen it? You can get a screenshot, must wait until the servername differs again, which happens quite alot since I use Media temples grid-server and my domain often switches machine.
Comment 7 Ralph 2006-11-08 19:55:00 UTC
Please reopen the bug. It is present in KDE 3.5.2.

If there is any way in which I may assist let me know.

Thanks.
Comment 8 Ralph 2006-11-08 19:55:52 UTC
By the way, I use the same settings as hatt.
Comment 9 Philip Rodrigues 2006-11-09 18:41:01 UTC
Reopening as requested in comment 6 and comment 7
Comment 10 MartinG 2007-07-01 20:36:06 UTC
This bug is still around in KMail 1.9.7 (KDE: 3.5.7-0.1.fc7 Fedora).

I'm using SSL and clear text password (and dIMAP).

The "accept forever" seems to only apply to the current session, or maybe to the current IP address of the server. However, it seems to be forgotten when the server changes IP. Is it so that the "forever" setting only remembers on IP address for a give account? Where is the setting stored? Is it in some kind of table or in a datatype that can only take one value?
Comment 11 Yuval Hager 2009-08-23 18:23:43 UTC
I am having the same issue with kmail-3.5.10 on Arch.
I have the same settings as the people above, and my server is NOT changing IPs. The certificate is self-signed, and that is the reason Kmail complains.

However, no matter how many times I click 'Forever', it pops up again. Maybe I can edit a config file by hand? This is a one-time issue, so I don't mind having a workaround like that until the bug is fixed.
Comment 12 Dominik Haumann 2009-12-08 13:28:28 UTC
Still present in KDE 4.3.4: Accept forever, restart KDE and you are prompted again. Is there any change getting this fixed at all? :)
Comment 13 Andy Neitzke 2010-02-23 01:10:17 UTC
I am still experiencing this problem in Kmail 1.13.0, KDE 4.4.0 (Kubuntu).
