No luck yet.  I used Milan's tip to get the certificates, as the one via
https is different from smtps and pop3s.

I saw Sylpheed complaining about certs not being a directory or not existant;
so I created it and put the certs.crt file there.  Didn't work, too.

Any way of getting more verbosity about the certificate file (ie, if Sylpheed
scanned the file and didn't find any that matched, or didn't liked the format
of the file, or anything else)?

Thanks in advance.
