In Debian, Sylpheed automaticaly uses CA certificates in /etc/ssl/certs.
So you don't have to do anything other than installing ca-certificates
package.

Currently the following directories are searched:
  ~/.sylpheed-2.0/certs
  /etc/ssl/certs
  /etc/ssl
  /etc

and if any of the following files are found in the directories, it will
be used:
  ca-certificates.crt
  ca-bundle.crt
  ca-root.crt
  certs.crt
