ooops, i made a slite error in my last message, but below may be what will
help, let me know.
Instructions for telling Eudora to trust SSL certificates:
Do a mail check (or try to send mail if the problem is with the outgoing
server). You can't tell Eudora to trust a certificate that it hasn't
received yet.
When you get the certificate error, answering "yes" may allow you to
successfully connect to the server but it may interfere with fixing the
problem more permanently. Saying "no" is more reliable when it comes to
doing the long-term fix.
Open the personalities window, right-click on the personality in question
and select "properties".
On the incoming mail tab, click on the button to see the information for the
last SSL connection. (For outgoing mail, go to the "generic properties tab
rather than "incoming mail".)
Then click on the button to go to the certificate information manager.
In the certificate manager, the certificate chain for the connection in
question will be at the top. (Ignore all the certificates further down in
various other categories. The only one you need to concern yourself with is
the one listed at the very top, under "server certificates".) It is most
likely a chain of certificates that you have to open, not just a single
certificate. The "+" button opens additional levels. Click on the "+"s until
you have the entire chain open. Certificates that are trusted have a happy
face icon until you open them. When they opened, the happy face opens its
mouth. Certificates that aren't trusted have a skull icon. Most likely,
you'll find that the last one in the chain shows a skull. Select that one
and tell Eudora to trust it. You don't need to do anything to the
certificates that are already trusted, other than click on the plus sign to
open them up.
Close out of the certificate manager and properties. Go do another mail
check (or try to send mail) and see if it works.
You may have to repeat this process a few more times depending on the number
of certificates in the chain. Each one needs to be trusted. They're like a
series of locked doors. You have to unlock each of the doors before it can
be opened to see the next door.
If you have multiple personalities that use the same server, you only need
to do this for one of them, but if you have multiple personalities that use
different servers, you have to be sure the personality you choose is the
right one.
