Has anyone gotten an “Unable to Verify” alert for incoming servers
each time mail is opened? I recently moved to Leopard but the settings
are the same as Tiger which worked fine. I don’t know if it’s just an
incorrect setting on my end or something else. Should I just override
the alert and allow Mail to accept the server or is that too much of a
potential security risk?
Hi Todd, I get this with an IMAP account every time it starts up, but
not with the POP accounts I have. Still on OS 10.4.11 though.
No help whatsoever!

That was helpful, actually. My accounts are IMAP, thanks for
mentioning that.

I get that with my own website server account, and it is an IMAP
account, but I don’t get it at all with my multiple Gmail accounts,
all of which are IMAP. I don’t know if it’s a security risk, but I
overrode mine. It was driving me nuts.

It sounds like you may have had a certificate installed on Tiger for
the email account you’re using (for SSL). If you still have access to
Tiger you can et the certificate from the Keychain, otherwise get in
touch with your mail provider.
Cheers,

Not sure if this is your problem… but if you go to:
Preferences > Accounts
then select the account that is giving you the problem, now select the
Advanced tab and see if the port is set another port other than 110
and if the SSL checkbox is selected, if this is the case then change
port to 110 and deselect the SSL checkbox and save your changes.
I don’t know why but I have come accross many occasions when setting
up mail accounts on machines with Leopard that Mail tends to set this
as per default, I have no idea why!
