Changed SSL Certificate
Changed SSL Certificate
Since January 2012, I have been picking up my ZOHO-hosted mail using an e-mail client (ClawsMail). This has worked well until today, when a pop-up flashed me a warning that the SSL certificate had expired, and inviting me to accept an updated one. I thought I had better check the details of the certificate first.
The owner on the old certificate was *.zoho.com (location Chennai), and the signer was Thawte SSL CA (in the US). The certificate expired at 13/11/10(Sun) 23:59. That all looked plausible.
The owner details in the new certificate are blank, which set my alarm bells ringing. The signer is PositiveSSL CA 2 (in Salford, GB). The new certificate is due to expire on 14/08/03(Sun) 23:59. I decided to close the connection and post this message on the ZOHO forum.
Should I accept the new certificate? Or what?
[UPDATE: just spotted Ramya's message about a new certificate for POP/IMAP/SMTP ... https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/ssl-security-certificate-updated-pop-imap-and-smtp-servers ... looks like I should accept thePositiveSSL certificate, even though ZOHO is not mentioned on it ...?]
