           Summary: Akonadi keeps asking about an SSL certificate it knows
                    should be accepted
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 1.5.0
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: IMAP resource
        AssignedTo: ervin at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bero at arklinux.org
                CC: vkrause at kde.org, kdepim-bugs at kde.org


Version:           1.5.0 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

Not 100% sure if this is an Akonadi or a kio-ssl issue...

I've configured kmail to use an SSL IMAP server with a bad certificate.
Akonadi (correctly) showed a dialog saying

The server failed the authenticity check (mail.XXXXX.ch). The certificate does
not apply to the given host. The certificate is not signed by any trusted
certificate authority.

(Both are expected, the server was running an out-of-the-box dovecot
installation including its sample "imap.example.com" certificate).

I told Akonadi to accept it by clicking "Continue", and in the dialog that
followed ("Would you like to accept this certificate forever without being
prompted?"), "Forever".

However, the "The server failed the authenticity check (mail.XXXXX.ch)." dialog
keeps popping up occasionally (even when kmail isn't running).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up an IMAP server with a bad SSL certificate
2. Connect to it with kmail
3. Confirm you want to accept the invalid certificate forever
4. Wait

Actual Results:  
Keeps prompting about the certificate several times a day

Expected Results:  
Warnings about the certificate go away

I know I should fix the certificate on the imap server instead ;)
