It seems the bug is actually something different, causing me to think that the problem was that the wrong certificate was being used to sign emails. I have updated the description to reflect the change.
The actual bug is that when I click on View Certificate in the Security Information dialog, it displays the wrong certificate. It displays my old Thawte certificate, even though the email was signed with my new Comodo certificate. Since both certificates are for the same email address it looks like Evolution is displaying the first certificate that matches the email address from the local certificate store, instead of showing the actual certificate attached to the email. The situation is as follows: I have two separate mailboxes configured, with different email addresses. Let's say mailbox A with address pep...@a (Pepijn is my first name) and mailbox B with address pep...@b. I previously had a certificate installed for pep...@a. Yesterday I purchased two new certificates, one for pep...@a and one for pep...@b, and installed them both in Evolution. I then sent two test emails to test the certificates. One from pep...@a to pep...@b and one from pep...@b to pep...@a, both signed with my new Comodo certificates (I have verified that they actually were signed with the correct certificate from another email program). So the two emails were each sent *and* received by the same Evolution instance. However, when I open the mail sent from pep...@a to pep...@b and click on Valid signature -> View Certificate, it displays my old Thawte certificate! And it does this both from the Sent folder of my A mailbox, and the Inbox of my B mailbox! Apologies for the lengthy description, I hope it's clear what the problem is. -- View Certificate displays wrong certificate https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492900 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
