Re: Can I override handshake failure?

Hi Thomas,

 The reason is that some powerfull influences here and on the Beta list
 want to nanny you and protect you from making a mistake. I feel
 ashamed for that.

Well, the latest SSL desaster maybe set that into a different light.
The planned mitigations for the scenario simply didn't work as all
browser developers decided to allow the user to decide which option
is best and then go with the weakest one as a default. I totally
prefer TB! way.

invalid security

2011-03-27 Thread Gunivortus Goos
Hi y'all,

a friend from Brazil downloaded and installed The Bat for the first time.
He is using a secure connection (TLS) to the mailserver of his provider
using ports in the 900 region.
The provider is one of Brazils biggest provider, with several millions of
customers.
With every connection to that server TB shows a window, telling him,
the security certificate of that server is invalid and he is asked if he wants
to go on. After a Yes, that happens, but it makes automatic maildownloading
(pop3) impossible.
Is it possible to deactivate that message to make the automatic periodical
mailcheck possible?

He should check why exactly TB thinks the connection is insecure -
maybe the provider's using a certificate that TB doesn't know (in this
case it might be enough to switch S/MIME and TLS in Options to MS
CryptoAPI, assuming the certificate is installed in Windows'
certificate store).
