[Bug 41160] Dapper's Evolution will not open email from outside applications when using self-signed certificates

[Hezekiah Carty]

Public bug reported:

Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Using the latest Dapper updates, if I try to open an email from an
outside application (ex. beagle), a mail window will pop up but the
message never loads.

The problem seems to be that the message is on an IMAP server which has
a self-signed certificate, and Evolution has no means to always accept
the certificate.  I can click through the certificate acceptance dialog
if I start Evolution directly, but if I try to open a message using
Deskbar/Evolution the message never opens, and Evolution's processes
hang in the background.

Is there any way to fix this?
