The important issue is not who Mozilla trusts, but who the user trusts. The issue also doesn't solely apply to the class 1 root certificate but also to the class 3 server certificate used by mail servers.
There are a substantial set of users who use (often their own) mail servers that use certificates signed by CAcert class 3 certificate. Any application should have easy was to add a CA which the user trusts, totally independent of the situation wrt CAcert, which is also a reason why I do not believe that reopening this particular bug is the right thing to do. The correct thing would be to request an easy way for a user to manage her CA's for her applications. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232340 Title: CaCert Certificates not installed Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool: Confirmed Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Invalid Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: evolution Although CaCert.org certificates are part of the ca-certificates packages and installted on the system by default, evolution does not have them installed by default.
