Bug Description

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I noticed that Evolution stated there is an ssl error when I clicked a mailto: address on a webpage. I asked a few people at google and even some ubuntu devs. In short this is the situation where I can reproduce it:

1. Make sure evolution is not running. It should be configured to receive email using imap with an ssl encryption.
2. Find a page with an mailto: address.
3. Click on the email address.
4. The following error occurs.

You will see a popup with the following text:
SSL Certificate check for imap.gmail.com:

Issuer: CN=Google Internet Authority,O=Google Inc,C=US
Subject: CN=imap.gmail.com,O=Google Inc,L=Mountain View,ST=California,C=US
Fingerprint: 02:02:9a:f2:7c:0a:55:39:0d:67:0c:0b:......
Signature: BAD

Do you wish to accept?

Part of the fingerprint in munged. Will send the full fingerprint when needed.

Google is not aware, the fingerprint is not a known one. What I can't reproduce is
if this was working correctly before the last ssl updates.

Ubuntu version: 11:04 (updated on Sep 27 2011 but I did have the error a few weeks back too).
Evolution version: 2.32.2
Kernel: 2.6.38-11-generic
ssh version: OpenSSH_5.8p1
openssl: OpenSSL 0.9.8o

Best regards,

Hans Wolters
