Sebastian 4f57b94e23 Implement SSL certificate checking 
Previously, we did not check at all the authenticy and validity of
the SSL server we connected to. This is bad as it allows
man-in-the-middle attacks etc. This patch remedies the situation
somewhat.

If we specify a sslcacertfile= setting in the Repository section,
validate the server cert (on python>=2.6 or abort with python<=2.5).

As before, no certificate check is performed without that option.
In the future, the hostname check should be made optional and also
a mutt-lick "accept this certificate forever" thing should be
implemented.

Description

Welcome to the official OfflineIMAP project.

OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading. With OfflineIMAP, you can read the same mailbox from multiple computers. You get a current copy of your messages on each computer, and changes you make one place will be visible on all other systems. For instance, you can delete a message on your home computer, and it will appear deleted on your work computer as well. OfflineIMAP is also useful if you want to use a mail reader that does not have IMAP support, has poor IMAP support, or does not provide disconnected operation.

OfflineIMAP works on pretty much any POSIX operating system, such as Linux, BSD operating systems, MacOS X, Solaris, etc.

OfflineIMAP is a Free Software project licensed under the GNU General Public License. You can download it for free, and you can modify it. In fact, you are encouraged to contribute to OfflineIMAP, and doing so is fast and easy.

This software was written by John Goerzen, who retired from maintaining. It is now maintained by Nicolas Sebrecht.
