[ILUG] Evolution & pop3s problems

[ILUG] Evolution & pop3s problems

Dave Burke daveb at esat.net

Hi,

I'm currently testing turning on pop3s on some of my mail servers. 
I've enabled it and tested it working correctly with the following
clients:
	o. Mozilla 1.6 [Linux]
	o. Thunderbird 0.8 [Windows XP]
	o. Outlook Express 6 [Windows XP]
	o. OpenSSL 0.9.7c [Linux]

With all of them, I can logon and download my mail without any problems. 
My problems start when I try using evolution-1.45. When I try to pop 
the mail down I get .... 

SSL Certificate check for XXXX.XXXX.XXX:
Issuer:            E=server-certs at thawte.com, CN=Thawte Server CA, 
		   OU=Certification Services Division, O=Thawte Consulting cc, 
		   L=Cape Town, ST=Western Cape, C=ZA
Subject:           CN=XXXX.XXXX.XXX, OU=ISP Operations, O=EsatBT, L=Dublin, 
		   ST=Dublin, C=IE
Fingerprint:       c3:fb:58:21:5f:13:1d:b2:6e:d1:e5:20:b0:8a:a6:bd
Signature:         BAD

There's nothing wrong with the cert as far as I can see. I've verified 
the fingerprint of the cert and it's matching what evolution is reporting.

I've actually tested this against two different pop3 servers (both with 
different certs) and i'm seeing the same error being reported by evolution
in each case.

Has anyone ever seen something similiar with evolution? Or any idea how to fix 
it?
Once I get the error above, I can accept the cert and mail begins to download 
over
the ssl connection, but i'd like to know why evolution is complaining about my 
cert.


Thanks,
Dave
