I use postbox, which is a derivative of mozilla thunderbird at work to manage E-mail. We also have an LDAP directory that we use to manage the users here. Naturily we use thunderbirds LDAP integration to address mails easily but postbox complains everytime when I try to compose an e-mail that our LDAP servers certificate is self signed and cannot be trusted. This popup is really annoying so here’s how I disabled it:

In Tools->Account Setting->security->View Certificates

Servers tab, click the add Exception button.

Enter the LDAP servers address and here’s the real trick: The port number after the address. Something like this:

master.directory.myserver:636

It doesn’t work if you don’t enter the port number.

Restart thunderbird and no more annoying popups.
