Created attachment 1171 [details] Better error messages when reading certificate files I've spent some time trying to make claws-mail use a client certificate when sending messages via SMTP. This failed, but the network protocol window did not contain any related error messages, and I missed an error message on the console because claws-mail was started via desktop menu. The attached patch improves the situation a bit, I think. (Btw, the actual problem was apparently some kind of incompatibility between my openssl-generated cert+key and gnutls. Some client-cert-howto in the documentation might be really helpful.)
