Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.9-3
Severity: normal
Connecting to imaps server which offers unknown SSL certificate you get the
'use always', 'use once' or 'never use' dialog. If you select the 'never use'
option or the 'Cancel' button the dialog closes and then reopens requesting
again. This is an infinite loop; it's impossible to get rid of it. Not only
that but it blocks the GUI alot making it very difficult to do anything such
as quit or add the root certificate needed to authenticate.
I guess it's an upstream bug but the Mozilla bug server seems broken right now
so I can't check.

I know. :-/
We are lacking extremely on free time to work on bugs like this. We
have a lot of work to get the Icedove package building on every platform
that Debian is willing to support. So there is not much time over for bug
catching. And, we know that's sound hard, the most of the bugs are bugs
that have to be fixed upstream. And upstream is not always works easy
with it.

Thanks for your understanding.
And yes, the same I would sugguest. Version 2 of Icedove is long ago and
I belive and hope this issue is gone thrue the years. So let's close
this bug and reopen/open a new bug if something similar is happen again.
