How can I make mail trust self signed mail certificates FOREVER? As it is now, I have to tell Mail.app to always trust the cert for each email account, every time I launch mail. Then it remembers to trust it until I quit mail, then I have to re-tell it all over again. This is bearable on my desktop but on my laptop, where I need SSL the most, I'm constantly logging in and out and rebooting, and it drives me crazy.
FYI it's my own server, running Mac OS X Server. And I'm not buying a certificate, it's the encryption I'm after :-)

Just read that article, and did what it said. 4 times in a row. Its no different than just checking the "always trust" check box right in Mail.app. That is to say, I still have to tell mail.app to trust the certificate every time I launch mail.app

If you're clicking always trust and it still prompts upon relaunch then that's a bug that should be reported to Apple.

Does it still do this if you change the trust setting of the certificate(s) in Keychain Access (in the /Applications/Utilities folder)?

Its set to be trusted, and mail knows this. I don't understand why its still asking me if I want to connect.

Do you see the cert in your Keychain Access app? Maybe it never actually imported it?
Mail sucks though, it wouldn't surprise me if this was another bug.

Doesn't happen to me. I know this is of no help, since I can't see anything special I've done.
How did you create your cert?

Yes i can see the cert in keychain access. And just like in the window i posted above, it's listed as allowed for all users. My cert... i think i just followed the instructions in one of the OS X Server manuals for creating your own self signed cert.

I have a similar problem except it only trusts the certificate sometimes.
Is this the same issue?
