Here is a cut and paste of one of my previous messages posted to this list:

Try to copy your certificate to etc\ssl\certs\certs.crt file located
in the Sylpheed installation directory, i.e. C:\Program Files\Sylpheed\ by
default. That should do the trick. 

As far as the certs.crt file within the Sylpheed user's profile is
concerned, let it untouched (as is and was after the fresh installation).

However, this only applies to the official Win32 binary. I have no
experiences using Sylpheed and Cygwin.

Hope that helps,
