Using self generated SSL (exim4 TLS/courier IMAPS) with Mail.app

Posted: 2006-07-14macsslcourierimapexim4tls

Mail.app wouldn't stop asking about the certificates.

So:

1. Remove any instances of them from Keychain Access
2. Try to get mail - when told about the certificate choose View certificate and drag the icon to the desktop
3. Don't add the cert to your login keychain - drag it to the X509Anchors chain instead.
4. Mark it as always trusted (after all - you trust yourself don't you?)
5. Repeat 2. - 4. for sending mail.

Bingo! Well - works4me at least.
