While I don't use IMAP, this was the most ridiculous reply I've seen on this list for a long while. So, many people press YES YES ES. So what? What if *I* read the messages? Does the email client have to nanny me because your grandmother doesn't read them? You have really insulted the intelligence of the TB users. If some are stupid enough to click YES, that is *their* problem. Why on earth would you forbid *me* to accept an expired certificate, if I so choose?

Let me be the judge of whether I want to risk my system. Don't protect me from the dangers that might be there for your grandmommy. -- Cheers, Thomas.
