Hi Gevisz |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I had a similar behavior with another tools : offlineimap |
| 28 |
It seems that Google changes certificates very often and/or uses |
| 29 |
different certificates on different connections |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
For offlineimap, the solution is to use an option to check certificates : |
| 32 |
sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Maybe there is an option to do the same in Claws Mail. |
| 35 |
I found "Bug 2199 - Claws doesn't propery verify certification chain" |
| 36 |
[1] which affected a GMail user. |
| 37 |
It's fixed, so you may find what's been done. |
| 38 |

Best regards |
