[k-9-mail] K-9 and encrypted smtp

[h***@gmail.com]

Does k-9 no longer accept self-signed certificates for smtp connections? I also use encryption with imap, but that connection allows me to force (override) the certificate. I can retreive my email as I have for the past several years on multiple devices. I currenly have no option during setup to force the certificate during smtp setup.

My current setup is an LG G5 (model H831, Canada specific) with Android 7.0. Any assistance to change this behaviour (new feature request? Bug report?) Would be very much appreciated!

At this point I have no options to send email other that through gmail on my mobile device. I would prefer not to.

This seems to have worked for me, in terms of giving me a popup during
the outgoing server config.

Can you say what happens when you configure the outgoing server and
click next? Do you get a certificate error? What exactly?



Another thing you could do, assumingg it's your own server, is to create
a CA, sign a cert for your server, and add the CA to android's trust
anchor list. Then, certificate validation will pass, and it will not
be an exception from the k-9 viewpoint.
