The 'unknown certificate' error/prompts - it's been mentioned alot, I've posted about them myself in the past - however I don't thhink I've ever seen an explanation. I'm wondering if this is an issue with modest or is it something with Gmail (imap) that's causing the problems?

The trouble has come and gone over the months. The latesstt modest had seemed to be working great for, what was it?.... weeks I guess, since it came out. Then suddenly midday yesterday I started getting hit with 3 prompts (for 3 imap accts) wheen launching modest. This was an unprovoked attack <grin> I installed/changed nothing leading up to this. Tthis morning I upgraded to the new version of modest, just released, but with same results.

So anyway, I'm wondering if there's something that I can be doing to prevent this, or if it's been established that the problem lies within modest or, as I'm suspecting: it's gmail that's fouling up.

Tia for any thoughts/insight.
