            Bug ID: 441133
           Summary: "Forever" is too short for self-signed certificate
                    acceptance
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 5.17.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: IMAP resource
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: thiago at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
I have an IMAP mail server I use to back up my emails. It has a self-signed
certificate. Up until this week, I hadn't been bothered by the self-signed
certificate warning aside from the first time I started KMail / Akonadi with
this server. But it's now bothering me every time it reconnects, which appears
to be once every hour, with two connections.

This is not the same as bug 203753 because kded is running.

The certificate is valid until 2029.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add an account with a self-signed SSL certificate
2. Fetch emails from it
3. Accept the certificate Forever
4. Wait a while

OBSERVED RESULT
The dialogue telling me the certificate is self-signed and asking me if I want
to trust it shows up within a finite amount of time.

EXPECTED RESULT
The dialogue does not show up again unless I reset the settings.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.84.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2 + KDE patches

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Usually this is caused after a system upgrade (using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed here),
but this weekend's update did not touch anything related to SSL, Qt or KDE
applications.
