There is an option, skip_ssl_cert_check, see http://www.claws-mail.org/manual/claws-mail-manual.html#adv_hidden about gmail and certs, see http://lists.claws-mail.org/pipermail/users/2012-January/001096.html I attempted to reproduce the GUI freeze. I waited 8 minutes, but there was no freeze. I changed the clawsrc file as suggested and that seems to have worked. It worries me a bit that this is a global change. I wish it was more fine-grained, e.g., for a specific site, or at the very least only applied when the certificate's signature is valid. I started having this same problem recently, with GoDaddy servers. The work-around described here is just that: a work-around, not a solution. Disabling verification of SSL certificates as a proper solution? Is it some kind of joke? Newer versions of Claws-Mail now have a per account SSL option named "Automatically accept unknown valid SSL certificates". This is what you want there rather than skipping verification. Thanks, that solution works properly. |
