It is a problem in TB! because TB! will not allow the user to accept a cert.
It makes that decision for him/her, and that answer is always no, you cannot
connect (if the cert is outdated)..

It is a problem in that it is a matter of convenience to the user. Where the
user can always connect otherwise using a standard connection on 143 (in
most cases, depending if the IMAP server is set up that way, or standard POP
on 110).

To put it another way, if I can connect to a server via POP or IMAP, after I
authenticate, why will it not let me connect securely, when I can connect
normally. It should be my choice, since I can connect anyway. Does that not
makes sense?

Regards,
