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.
