When I first started using Sylpheed for my POP email accounts, I was getting "SSL certificate verify failed" errors, which I eventually solved by following the instructions (more or less) on this page: http://www.melvilletheatre.com/articles ... index.html
Since then, I've had no such problems... until a few days ago when I started to get these same certififcate failed errors again with my Hotmail account. I've scoured Google for information about this (like a new Hotmail certificate or something) but have found nothing. This is the error box that appears: http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/8249/61107946.jpg
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.
PS. I'm guessing I just need to download some new certificate and install it using the method explained in the first link... but I have no idea what this new certificate is.

Okay, I've managed to solve this!
Googling about some more, I found out that this new certificate is called "Corp.STS Certificate" (or something) which I downloaded from here: https://corp.sts.microsoft.com/Onboard/CertRenewal.html
I then extracted the corp_sts_2014.cer file, renamed it to corp_sts_2014.pem and put it in the root/.sylpheed-2.0/certs folder.
Finally I entered c_rehash ~/.sylpheed-2.0/certs/ into a console... and amazingly I got something to work.
Nice...
