The interesting thing about my problem is it just started suddenly. All of a sudden it began flagging every SSL cert as "BAD". I don't know what triggered this. I can't think of a specific change that was made that caused this to happen. I'm running two different machines each with the same GNU/Linux Distribution and each with the same version of evolution and only one machine is having this problem. I'm not sure what mechanism checks these certs so I'm not sure where to look for the problem at. I can accept the cert and it never asks again but it seems like it shouldn't be flagging these in the first place. The first SSL cert it flagged was for google itself. It was for imap.gmail.com when I first opened evolution that day.
